Sahti

Sahti is a traditional Finnish farmhouse ale characterized by its use of juniper branches in the brewing process, which imparts a distinct pine-like flavor alongside rye and oats for a unique grainy profile. It's typically unfiltered, unfined, unpasteurized, and fermented with baker's yeast rather than brewer's yeast, resulting in a cloudy appearance and banana-like esters. This ancient beer style dates back several centuries and was traditionally brewed for celebrations and special occasions.
