On tap at P�rgu, pours a cloudy orange with a small beige head. Aroma brings out herbal notes, soil, and fungal notes. Flavour follows suit, with fungal and herbal notes, some earthy soil, and evergreen leaves. Unusual for those of us with little sahti experience. It's fun for what it is, I suppose, though not really to my taste.

Handbottled (thanks Marduk!)
Hazy orange colour, not much head. Nose has strong juniper. Light to medium-bodied. Some banana, alcohol and juniper. Quite thin for koduõlu. Drinkable.

Danke an FatPhil! Hefig bananiger Geruch. Weich alkoholischer, sehr hefiger Antrunk. Noten von Banane, geringe Herbe. Steigende Würzigkeit, dabei weiter bananig. Kräutrige Nuancen im runden Hintergrund, langer Nachhall. Nett! 11/9/10/10//10

From õllekeha to bottle (thanks marduk). Pours hazy yellow. Aroma is crazy sweet, banana, fruits, wheat. Flavor is sweet, fruits, banana, some booze, spices. Covers alcohol well. Overall: very good. --- Beer merged from original tick of Õlu on 24 Feb 2014 at 05:17 - Score: Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 6 | Flavor - 6 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 7. Original review text: Tap @ Põrgu. Pours hazy straw with white head. The head stays. Aroma is sweet, yeast, banana. Taste is sweet and sour, a little bit soapy, alcohol, wheat. Overall: I was expecting something very different, since I have tried several Saaremaa koduõlus before and they are usually pretty awful yeasty messes. Ohh and it goes down really well for the ABV!
