On tap at Strange Fellows, pours a hazy yellow with a small white head. Aroma is fruity and peppery, with lots of cracked black pepper and spicy yeast notes upfront. Flavour follows accordingly, with lots of currants and other berries, in addition to the spicy cracked black pepper. Really well-balanced and constructed. Dry, fruity and spicy on the finish. Good stuff.

On tap at St. Augustine's, pours a cloudy dark orangey amber with a small off-white head. Aroma brings out an interest rate mix of gin and citrus upfront. Flavour is on the maltier side, with notes of earthy rye notes, followed by gin / juniper berries, and a little citrus. A bit muddy for me but it works alright. Nice attempt.

Light brown, thin head. Smells a bit dirty, maybe some toast. The taste is mostly rye, not much else. Not picking up much juniper, bit thin, and totally nothing like sahti...think of it as a rye beer for best results.

Growler, tasting at Josh’s
Hazy brown. The aroma is earthy, a bit dusty, and bready. Some rye bread flavor, it has some residual sweetness,, correct bitterness, no juniper. Balanced. An ok beer.

650mL bottle, pours a reddish brown with a medium beige head. Aroma is bizarre, with vinegar, rum barrels, and medium sour berries. Flavour is dominated by woody rum barrels, medium sourness and vinegar. The rum is extremely prominent, as well as the vinegar and sourness. Rather abrasive but also harmonious somehow. Quite good.

Cask at Big Rock Urban Brewery, Vancouver
Murky amber color with medium head. The smoke and the banana aroma blend well together, with an earthy trace. Good body structure, wheat and some smoke, but a bit too muddy, the yeast contribute s negatively, adding spice and soap; some soap feeling probably comes from orange peel.
Not bad, but dirty and confused.
