I managed to grab this Sahti (and its berry flavored sister) three minutes before the closing time of the brewery shop. Lucky me? How lucky I was, will be found out soon. Namely, it's the Sahti in the mug that counts. The appearance looks foggy, raisin brown. The carbonation is, naturally, negligible. I can still observe a big-bubbled layer on the top until it fades to zero. The nose is unimpressed. Weak malt, slightly sweet-leaning, and a hint of rye flour are what I get in the air. So far, not so good. The taste compensates part of the impotent scent. Interestingly fruity. Marginally sour. Could it be lactic acid contamination? The flavor cocktail is composed of dried apricot, lemon, faint raisin, a bit of fermented banana and rye flour. The body is light-medium. Doesn't surprise me as this "new" iteration clocks a lower ABV than the previous versions. The idea is better drinkability. I see. Sometimes it works, sometimes it fails. This is somewhere in the middle. There's nothing left, only the aftertaste in the silence; it stands on the edge, and sees a new start. The mouthfeel is light-medium, distantly tart, moderately dry and juicy. Not very traditional. The Sahti was growlered in week #15, and now we have #18. Should still be alright.

Onpas hiukan erilainen sahti. Tavanomainen pullahiivan maku puuttuu. Ennemmin hieman marjainen. Ei ihan omaan makuun sellainen mistä pidän, jos ei ihan huonokaan. Vappuja pinttiläisille! 🍻🎈

Sahti on viriltään kuparinruskea ja vähä vaahtoinen. Tuoksu on katajainen ja maltainen. Maku on katajainen, maltainen, kypsän hedelmäinen tai kinuskinen Kevyt on runko! Kyllä se vanha perinteinen sahti uppooaa paremmin kuin tämä!

toimiva, vähän kevyempi sahti.

Oijjoi nyt on hyvää! Todella raikas, banaaninen ja sanoisinko rusinainen? Nyt on hyvää kamaa Himolta 👍
