Introduction
In this article, we are reviewing the Stallhagen Styrman IPA.
Stallhagen is a brewery from the Åland Islands. Åland is an autonomous archipelago that belongs to Finland. You would believe that means they say alkoholiton olut for alcohol-free craft beer on Åland – that is incorrect! Here they actually don´t even need to learn Finnish in school because it´s a unilingually Swedish-speaking area. That means alkoholfri öl is the word to use if you want to order non-alcoholic beer on Åland.
Tasting Notes
Now, wow! This is what I call a great non-alcoholic craft beer. I really thought it was a normal alcoholic beer when I took my first sip. Granted, it does taste a bit more like a Pale Ale than an IPA but if they manage to make it this flavorful, I don’t care. If we could drink these kinds of beers all the time we would be very happy.
It pours like a beer and smells like a beer. A very big head actually and the carbonation is quite high. Initially, we thought that the carbonation might be a bit too high but it’s actually not over the top.

It’s the same with the taste that is packed with flavor. There is no alcohol balancing the hops but that is understandable. We still think the malt and hops balance is just perfect. There is a bit of bitterness but it’s also nicely balanced. The IBU is 30 and it would definitely be interesting to see how the same beer would taste if you’d up the bitterness a bit.
The Stallhagen Styrman hits right with some nice citrusy flavors, some pine and crisp bread.
