  • Ummagumma is an 8% imperial New England IPA created to celebrate five years of the Helsinki craft bar Juova Hanahuone.
  • The beer combines Nelson Sauvin, Motueka, Rakau and Peacherine hops, producing aromas associated with white wine, lime and stone fruit.
  • Limited quantities are available at Zagreb’s Goblet bar.

Ummagumma takes its name from Pink Floyd’s fourth album, but this Finnish beer has its own distinctive character. It was created to celebrate five years of Juova Hanahuone, a craft beer bar in Helsinki that began as a collaboration among seven breweries and became one of the city’s popular beer destinations.

The beer is classified as a double, or imperial, New England IPA. It delivers 8 percent alcohol and a heavy dose of hops, making it a drink that demands time and attention rather than a quick pour.

Its hop blend brings together New Zealand varieties Nelson Sauvin, Motueka and Rakau with Peacherine. The result includes aromas of white wine, fresh lime and stone fruit. Those scents arrive in waves, giving the beer an intense profile and making it challenging for tasters to identify everything it contains.

Ummagumma is available in Zagreb at Goblet, although supplies are limited. The recommendation is to try it soon, along with the other craft beers offered at the bar.
