440ml Can from Beer Brigadier, Tilburg, drunk at Roadburn 2025. Pours an opaque cloudy orange, small white head. Doesn't taste like a sahti whatsoever. Very thick tasting, hop heavy, super sweet NEIPA.. good tho. Cracked after Midwife, supped waiting for Stress Positions.

Tap at PBF 2025. Misty golden body, white head. Pretty distinct "wild plum" aroma, somewhat funky. The taste is a mild disappointment though - sure, nice plum notes are there, in the sweetish, tartish taste, but I got some cheesy notes as well from the funk, which didn't sit perfectly with me. It is what it is, a fun experiment!

Tap at Prague Beer Fest 2025, love the story about this one! Hazy golden body, white head. Brown sugar and pineapple in the aroma, along with honey. Smooth honey-driven taste, lightly tart, herbal, bit fruity, lovely overall!

Tap at Prague Beer Fest 2025. Very dark brown body, off-white head. Coffee and light lime in the dryish aroma, along with some caramel notes. Sweetish taste, coffee, resin and roast, along with lemony candy, ending bitterish Solid stuff, bit too sweetish for me!

Not sure how retired this is as we had it on Prague Beer Fest 2025, on tap as well. Oh man these guys and the hard liquor... But also some really cool beers! Murky orange-golden body, off-white head. Bretty-herbal, bit piney aroma, some orange notes. Lean, fairly clean dry honeyish-orangey, lightly herbal, bitterish taste, pleasant!

Lean and dry, nice citrus peel, moderate bitter rind, grass and crisp pine. Good balance. Super drinkable.
