Tämä gruit-tyyppinen Arktinen villiolut on sekoitus kahdesta eri tammitynnyristä, jotka kypsyivät panimolla viisi kuukautta. Hapan, yrttisen kitkerä ja maussa hieman kypsää persikkaa. Humalan sijaan oluen valmistuksessa on käytetty paikallisia villiyrttejä, siankärsämöä ja mesiangervoa.

Funky, mouthpuckering tart and zesty with hints of sourish peaches, vanilla oakiness, farmyardy yeastiness and herbal spiciness, hints of grapefruity and citrusy stonefruitiness. Complex and quite balanced

Sample from bottle at Juova, Helsinki. Poured unclear and golden in color, thin head. Aroma is just amazing, tartness, honey and berries, complex. Tad of herbalness in flavors, tartness, wood and some harsh like notes, from the herbs? Impressive.

37,5 cl bottle @ Tuulensuu. Rated on 06.06.2023 Bottle 42 of 615 Aroma has milky sourness, some fruitiness. Flavour is very tart and somewhat sour with earthy notes, some acidic tones. Some herbal tones appearing at the middle of the glass. Rather aggressive stuff and quite close to gueuze.
