A re-review of this batch of Sahti since I reviewed it last time, a week ago, a little bit too early. Let's see what the week has done to my friend. The appearance is of course unchanged. The scent spreads nice fermented banana and a good amount of banana biscuit to the nostrils. The former grainy aroma has turned to sweet malt and, hence, lost its distantly sharp nuance. The taste is now attractively soft, offering hefty fermented banana, bags of sweet malt and a reasonable heap of banana biscuit. I can also detect hair-thin licorice whereas juniper is almost nowhere to be experienced. Yeast is completely history now. The body is still medium-full -- yet, I've tasted fuller versions of the local Sahti Master's products. The beer ends with relatively soft sweet malt, banana is slightly diminishing but still recognizeably present. No yeast anymore in the finish either. The duration is the same, i.e. medium. The mouthfeel is appealingly soft and truly smooth now, as well as nicely round. This is exactly what I expected of this Sahti earlier but was busy to taste it a bit too early. The mouthfeel is also somewhat lip-glueing, fresh and not boozy at all. Here we go! An increase of 0.2 stars now.

New batch of local Sahti, specifically for the summer vacationers. 👍🏻🍻 The rest of the pics are of the final stage of batch 2. The beer colors foggy brown. No carbonation, no head, just a few soapy bubbles immediately after pouring but soon the surface is flat still. The scent allows one to inhale strong fermented banana, a bit of overripe apricot and a soft grainy aroma. The graininess may be due to the fact that, although the Sahti is ready for drinking, it's best after one week from now. The taste follows the suit with fermented banana, a tad Digestives, grainy dough and a tiny pinch of juniper twigs. I pick a yeasty note among the gustatory elements. The taste still lacks the very soft character that is so typical of the local sahtimaster's products. It's my fault though, I should have waited until the next weekend. The body is medium to medium-full. The beer finishes with light-grainy malt, a good amount of fermented banana, graham cookies and a small injection of juniper needles. Yeast is identifiable. The aftertaste has a medium duration. The mouthfeel is relatively soft but not as soft as what I'm used to with this "brewery's" products. It's also somewhat lip-glueing, medium-strong and distantly boozy. This is substantially fresh but still young -- at least one week is needed for making it round.
