Still good and worthwhile. But I can honestly say I’ve had better birch beers! A little too sweet, would’ve preferred more dryness and bitterness. Especially for a saison!

Bottled 330ml (tnx Andrus)
Hazy yellow colour, big white head. Citrus, birch leaves, even hempy aroma. Light-bodied. Fizzy carbonation, probably yeast is a bit tricky. Birch leaves dominate the flavour, then some Saison yeast. Overall of course watery.

Quick rate, enjoyed in actual sauna. Nice brewer bottle cap, somewhat nice label also. Taste - butter, hoppy, weak grass, bitter tones.

‘Birch saison’, so I assume a beer with birch juice added to it, by this Estonian craft brewer, tasted from tap at 4th Gentse Bierquiz in Ghent. Pale eggshell-white, mousy, bit irregular and opening but edge-retaining head, misty peachy robe with a ‘dirty’ orange-brown tinge. Aroma of ripe peach, old orange peel, sweaty socks, sugared bread, halfripe banana, plum peel and weird herbal qualities from the birch reminiscent of herb cheese, mustard seed and even Belgian ‘pickles’ but without the vinegar component. Very fruity, estery onset, peach, red apple and ripe pineapple impressions, fizzy and stinging carbonation; supple bready malt body, soggy cookies, with that dry mustard seed aspect strongly uprising retronasally – no doubt representing the ‘birch’ aspect, though I cannot see how precisely; minerally and fruity aspects linger along with this characteristic herbalness, while hop bitterness remains very soft. Very ‘Belgian’ in style with an interesting herbal-spicy aspect to it provided by the birch in an unusual, but not unpleasant way, but too sweet and not hoppy enough for a saison; could do with a lot more leafy, drying hoppiness in the finish, I’m left wondering what the effect would be then.
