Tapped. Brown hazy colour, white bubbly head. Banana and fruity aroma with hints of berries. Smooth banana flavour with bitterish notes. Very fresh palate and bananaish longlasting, almost too sweet aftertaste. A bit sticky mouthfeel.

Deep copper ale with no head, no real carbonation at all - musty, herbal aroma, with touches of caramel and yeast - spicy, grassy and grainy, with just a hint of sweetness - slight hints of caramel and brown sugar at the back end - finishes with some spice and earthiness - many qualities of this beer are strikingly similar to DFH Raison d’Etre, which isn’t a bad thing at all.

Bottle. Rusty brown no head at all. Aroma of bread with hints of juniper berries. Soft and smooth palate. Flavour of juniper berries and a bit alcohol with hints of bread. No aftertaste to talk about. Wellbalanced taste.

Bottle in a trade with Heemer77. Thanks so much Eric, I’d been badly wanting to try this! Pour reveals a wonderful (in my opinion) looking beer. I like heavily hazed, murky looking beers and this fit the bill. Fiery orange, deep copper and gold hues all swirl about, with a small, moderately lasting white head. Aroma of white wine vinegar, black pepper, salt, cabbage, rhubarb, and plenty of pickled beets right on the end. Wow, this is going to be interesting. And it certainly is. Very sour, moderately acidic, with some strong, drying herb-like notes. Resemblance to spoiled carrot/celery juice, perhaps. Very spicy as well, with a sweet-and-sour sort of effect. It finishes with a strong bitterness, some salty malt like flavoring, but no real evidence of the cabbage/beets that I get out of the aroma. Tingly mouthfeel, with a medium body, some wateriness. Alcohol does not seem apparent. I hope to try the rest of the Lammin line at some point. Thanks so much Eric!

Hazy orange. Very mild floral nose. Sour, yeasty, notes of juniper. Aftertaste has also yeast and sourness. This is brewed in Saimaan Panimo for Lammin Sahti. These two companies have a common brewmaster.

Amber colour. Sweet, malty, toasty aroma. Similar palate, with distinctive sugar notes. Sahti made to have a long shelflife is the same as bread made to have a long shelflife - a shitty shadow of the real thing.

Bottled. According to trustworthy sources the label is misleading, and this beer is actually brewed by Saimaan Panimo on behalf of Lammin Sahti. It is orange brown and clear and has a appley aroma. Sweet and fruity with some banana. Lightly bready. Dull compared to real sahti

Dark amber color with small off-white mostly vanishing head. Fruity sweet aroma with hints of juniper. Sweetish with some bitter bite too, banana, juniper. This is better for my taste than "real" sahti.

Hazelnut - orange brown, hazy. Almost no head. Banana and juniper aroma. Crisp start, then very unique juniper berry and bean flavor. Very strange beer.
