Description
“Sakiškių alus” was born in 2015 in the small village of Sakiškės, near Vilnius. 2020 in late autumn, in the middle of quarantine, after renovation works, we moved to new spacious premises in Smoke factory, located in Vilnius, Dūmų street 5. The new place is so spacious that it contains not only bigger brewery, but also tasting bar with 24 taps and a venue for cultural activities and various events, accommodating up to 1000 participants.
After moving to the premises of the former scythe factory, we change our logo. In the new logo, you will find the contours of the place where we are located, fermenters that reflect our activities and the waves of the river, and maybe beer, flowing in both Sakiškės and Naujoji Vilnia. From now on, “Sakiškių alus” will be called “Sakiškės brewery”, as most of our products travel to foreign countries, and the number of foreigners in Lithuania is constantly increasing. While hops are certainly what our products are about, at the same time, we are a brewery that nurtures the culture of modern brewing.

Taster on tap at Uba ja Humal, Tallinn. Pours clear golden with a modest, white head. Mild herbal and citrus aroma, it actually reminds me of the lemon thyme we have in the garden. Moderate to medium sweet with medium to low flavour intensity and ditto bitterness. On the watery sidebut still fairly drinkable.

Die Optik erscheint in einem kräftig trübem Mix aus rot, pink und orange. Die nahezu weiße, feinporige Schaumkrone bläht sich rasch auf, fällt aber ebenso rasch wieder in sich zusammen. In der Nase machen sich frische, fruchtige Himbeernoten, welche von einer leicht laktischen Charakteristik unterlegt sind, breit. Der Antrunk kommt sehr frisch, kräftig rezent, angenehm säuerlich, fruchtig, mit schönen Himbeernoten und zarter Salzigkeit. Das Mundgefühl wird von einem sehr schlanken Körper geprägt, welcher von einer erfrischenden, sehr präsenten und kräftig moussierenden Rezenz, einer seidigen Textur und einer angenehm säuerlich-herben Trockenheit begleitet wird. Auf Zunge und Gaumen dominiert die angenehme Säure mit der frischen Fruchtigkeit der Himbeere, einer leicht laktischen Charakteristik, leichter Salzigkeit und einer passend säuerlich-herben Note. Dieses Zusammenspiel wirkt sehr angenehm, erfrischend, harmonisch, hat aromatisch recht viel von einem Himbeerkracherl, jedoch ohne süß oder limonadig zu sein. Das wirkt schon sehr ansprechend und kann im Sommer ein absoluter Gamechanger sein, wenn es um die Auswahl eines Erfrischungsgetränks geht. Im Nachtrunk bauen Rezenz und Säure rasch ab und lassen erstmal Platz für die fruchtigen Noten, welche von einer leichten Herbe, Trockenheit und Adstringenz gefolgt werden.
