330mL bottle at Villi Wäinö, pours a cloudy dark red with a small beige head. Aroma is abrasive and cockamamie, with juniper berries, glue, weird yeast, and alcohol—man is this chaotic. Flavour is chaotic, with wood glue, alcohol, and messed up yeastiness. Something terribly wrong here that I couldn’t begin to guess the source of. Bad.

From a box at Villi Wäinö, pours a cloudy muddled golden orange, no head. Aroma has pine, tree bark, plenty of juniper spices, and some esters. Flavour is drier, with plenty of juniper spices, light esters, and tree bark. Less sweet than most sahtis. Well-made.

From a box at Villi Wäinö, pours a cloudy muddled dark orange, no head. Aroma is full of esters, with tons of banana, and tree bark. Flavour is estery as hell, with intense banana ester, some tree bark, and syrup. Way too sweet but not egregious.

From a box at One Pint Pub, pours an opaque dull orangey brown with a few bubbles of head. Aroma is full of spicy herbs, soil, some sugars, and earthiness. Flavour is moderately sweet, with plenty of banana esters, some spicy notes, and cotton candy. Sweet, very estery. It’s alright.
