Excellent! Probably the American sahti closest to Finnish sahti, as far as I've had. Tastes quite raw, no hop bitterness, good amount of spruce, forest fruit yeast.

On tap at Giant Jones, pours a cloud golden blonde with a small white head. Aroma has plenty of twigs, floral notes, light sugars, and a touch of esters. Flavour seems like a Belgian at base, with gentle esters, subtle floral notes, and then the branches. Needs more branches and earthy stuff to really convince me as a proper sahti; as is, it�s more like an earthy, sprucey Belgian. Decent.
