Draft glass @ Põrgu. Hazy orange, bready, soapy white head. Nose is raw & sweet unfermented raw bread, wheat, mineral, fizzy, dirty rustic. Tastes like a high boost unfermented Hefeweizen mixed with glue, pencil, band-aid, bread, rubber, plastic, mineral, very thick low carbonation boozy unfermented thick body. That pencil & glue finish nearly killed me. I know that the Ölut version is considered to be better but this nearly killed me, too challenging, I need to learn to drink this I think. I really struggled, still really happy to have tried Koduõlu.

BIG THANKS to Marduk. Koduõlu was one of my biggest beer wants. PET bottle, filled at brewery shared at Koht – Tallinn. Hazy orange with no head. Nose is sweet candy, sugar, wheat, banana, flat Hefeweizen with low funk of sorts. Taste is like thick unfermented banana Hefeweizen with pencil shavings, glue, chalk, orange peel, sweet candy,…. Thick unfermented malt syrup & glue. Others talked about it being too thin but I struggled a bit with this one but then I tried the regular stronger version oh boy. Bit too challenging for me, heavy. Very happy to have tried this one.

1L bottle, courtesy of FatPhil (thanks!), pours a cloudy filthy orange with a tiny head. Aroma brings out old tart lemon, with some earthiness. Flavour is all esters, with sweet banana. Flat and cloyingly sweet. Horrendous - perhaps this was better at some point, but this is terrible now.

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.
