Visting briefly our cottage neighbors. Having a glass of Sahti. This has been brewed by the local Sahti Master who taught us the secrets of Sahti brewing. He hasn't made Sahti for more than half a year for which reason we started to brew our own Sahti. We are still on that road. Now he had decided to brew some Christmas Sahti. The Sahti colors semimurky, medium-brown. The carbonation is negligible but a surprisingly visible, cream-colored head emerges on the sides of the glass and retains there for some time. Interesting... The scent is, generally speaking, restrained: I'm picking faint, slightly sweet malt and fermented banana. The taste portrays fermented banana and a whisper of alcohol. The taste profile is a tad bitter, rather light, dryish and not particularly inviting. This strikes me with surprise: where's the fullness? Where are the sweet residual sugars? It seems that the fermentation has been allowed to continue too long and the final gravity too low. The body is astonishingly light. Whaaat? The Sahti finishes with bitter banana peel and a citrusy touch. Not good. The aftertaste confuses the tastebuds briefly. The mouthfeel is light, distantly alcoholic, moderately tangy and somewhat dry. Worty. Unfortunately, this is now the weakest one of the Sahti Master's products that I have tasted over the years.
