Bottle @ Chriso’s pre-GBBF tasting. Pours a cloudy creamy yellow, with a small white head. Strong banana, caramel, slight booxiness and a mellow finish

Tried it at SOPP 2011. Poured murky orange with a thin, but creamy looking head. Aroma was very fruity with a lot of yeast, slightly sweetsour. Flavor was riped banana, sweat, lots of yeast. Sweet long finish. Interesting, but as sahti isn´t really my favourite style, this one didn´t really cause any hoorays.

Draught @ SOPP 2011. Hazy yellow with a white head. Typical aroma of banana induced by baker’s yeast; some sweetness also included. Sweet, sahti-like flavour with banana, juniper and yeast. Obviously good if you are into this style.

Growler at Chriso’s. Cloudy light yellow color with lace. Fruity, estery aroma with citrus. Estery flavor, tangy, with banana, peach, somewhat weizen-like. Good, and very interesting. A pleasure to try.

At Chriso Pre Gbbf 2011. Thanks to fatphil. Cloudy light gold. Thick white head. Its not great. Some cereal. Bit of herb. Not great a little creamy and touch of toast.

very strong alc taste feels like a lot more than 7,x. Yellow murky with a whit fine head. Aroma is interesting cant tell what it is. Flavor at first i almost spat it out but later on gets better. Buttery after mouthfeel with a cava like after taste. Acidic white wine.

Surprisingly good traditional ale from Baltics. Aroma has banana, tart, alcohol, dark fruits, apricot, date and plum. Little light, but I’m comparing this to sahti. Why? I don’t know.

Draught @ SOPP Helsinki. Pours muddy yellow with white head. Taste is sweet. Palate is light bodied. Aromas have pungent hay, birch leaves, bit of vegetables.

(Draught@SOPP 2010) Opaque yellow with a small, bubbly head. Aroma of baking yeast, vegetables, lactic acid, and citrus. The flavor has vegetables, but also a reasonable amount of fruitiness. No bitterness. Medium body, low CO2. A decent pale sahti, although not the cleanest one.

Draught (Õllesummer 2010, Tallinn) - Very cloudy and hazy golden in colour. Slightly spicy and smoky aroma with hints of juniper and banana. Juniper, banana, ham and some roasted notes can de detected in the taste. It certainly packs a punch!
