Sahti is a Finnish beer traditionally flavored with juniper in addition to, or instead of, hops. The mash is filtered through juniper twigs into a trough-shaped tun, called a kuurna in Finnish.
The end product is a cloudy beer with a distinct taste, balanced by the bitterness from the juniper branches. The carbonation level tends to be very low. Sahti was traditionally brewed as a farmhouse ale, but commercial versions are now available.
In December you’ll have the chance to try this special beer on the Slovenian market to enrich and warm you during the winter.

On tap @ Velikonočni Beerfest Izola. Aroma is bready and yeasty with mild juniper note. Pours pale brown color with thick creamy white head and nice lacing. Tastes sweet bready, worty, honeyish, fresh herbal and mild fruity. Medium body, sticky texture and soft carbonation in palate. Liquid bread, but a bit too sweet...

Tap, Pivo & Burger Fest, Ljubljana. Very hazy amber, sizeable offwhite ehad, lasting. Almost no nose, just slight bready and yeasty notes - feel of a stale beer. Pretty sweet and quite grainy. Sligt spicess, medium light. Way to sweet for me and lacks some of the spicy/herbal character.
