Draught at Helsinki Beer Festival 2007. Slightly hazy dark brown color. Sweet and malty aroma with some banana, spicy rye and hints of juniper. Sweet flavor with firm rye note and warming finish. Smooth and oily palate with a thick milkshake like body. Few years ago this sahti tasted very different, but now it was in top condition and one of the best I have tasted. Suprisingly clean with no rustic notes often present in sahti.

Jun 3, 2008 500 ml bottle. Muddy brown color, no head. Junipery flavor with some fruity notes and a noticable cellar flavor. I’m biased, but I really can’t appreciate sahti at all -- this beer is definitely not my kind of drink.

May 26, 2008 Updated: May 27, 2008It takes time to get used to taste of Sahti. Huvila Sahti is a good one to start. It´s easy to drink because of its sweet aroma, fruity taste and balanced amount of juniper. Sahti needs to be in top condition and served cold before you can taste the best parts of it.

May 24, 2007 No head, dark muddy color. Yeasty, soft aroma. Lots of bananas. Very traditional and earthy. Wonderfully smooth palate. Balanced, yeasty flavor. Dangerously drinkable. One of the best Sahtis in Finland.

May 17, 2007 Draught (St. Urho’s, Helsinki, Sahti Days 2007).
Very dark murky sahti. Traditional banana-sahti aroma, but as it warms also some coffee notes. Very rich taste, dark roasted malts, again some coffee. Slightly fizzy CO2 freshness. Quite bitter. Finish is hugely malty and bitter (but not a usual bitter hops bitterness, hard to identify).
