Small Beer: Clover, Finland
3.9
Today's specialty is my homebrew. Made of the third runnings of our Sahti (the first flushings produced Sahti, of course, the second runnings form the basis for our upcoming Sour Ale). Because of the very low malty sugar contents at this stage, the ABV is very low, too: 1.5 %. The flavoring is clover, to be more precise, white clover blossoms. The pour looks hazy orange. Appealing as compared to almost all other Small Beers that I have produced, they have looked more or less dirty brown. The carbonation is truly subdued but a white small-bubbled head emerges on the top, falling short of one finger. The retention is relatively long though. The fruity scent gives orange pulp and lemon zest, escorted by a floral note that must be clover. The gustatory supply is also fruity: orange is definitely there. I can also spot orange peel, a bit of sour passionfruit and as if a wheaty backbone, yet it isn't. Thin body but, interestingly enough, not scanty. Quite decent for this low ABV. The finish is unchanged citrusy. How'd a guy like me that'd have been fine with three, wind up with a five leaf clover? The mouthfeel is thin and zesty as well as modestly floral and marginally earthy. It's also slightly tart and moderately drying. Surprisingly palatable! I have about 12 bottles of this, the beer will work beautifully in the sauna.
