Inspired by the Finnish brew known as Sahti, this is a variation of this ancient beverage. Brewed with Mecca Grade Vanor and rye malts, aged Cascade Hops from Goschie Farms, and our own yeast culture and house sour wort, Sahati gets resin and citrus notes from spruce branches harvested on the brewery property.

Pours a very cloudy dark amber from a bottle. Big tart smelling with a nice fresh piney or I guess spruce aroma. Similar flavor nice and a little sweet. Not familiar with the style but a good beer.
