3.2
The "Small Beers" adventure continues. These beers are made of the second or third runnings of our Sahtis and almost always flavored with some traditional Finnish plants, herbs or berries. The ABV has ranged from 1.4 % to 6.4 %.
This particular beer contains aromas of daisy. The ABV is a fairly low 1.7 %. The color is turbid, pale amber. A bit messy-looking. The carbonation is decent this soon from the bottling, it will certainly develop more over time. Not much but marginally anyway. A white head forms on the top and falls short of one finger. A lace ring adorns the top for surprisingly long.
The scent is floral and herbal. It's daisy but I wouldn't recognize it didn't I know it. It's slightly grassy. It's somewhat like herb tea without any green or black tea. I can spot a faint crackery vibe in the shadows but otherwise the malty sphere is pretty negligible here.
The taste is moderately sour and herbal rather than floral. Grassy and modestly crackery. Tastes healthy...
The body is thin. The end doesn't offer anything new to the few upfront flavors. The aftertaste's crazy, but I like it, I bite back; daisies on the nightstand, never forget it; they blossom in the moonlight, screw eyes; glacial with the blue ice, I'm terrifying.
The mouthfeel is thin, herbal, a tad dry and distantly drying. Even faintly astringent. Flavorwise this is not particularly appealing since daisy is not among the most tasty edible plants. However, the beer tastes what it's supposed to taste. That's the main point. I'm looking forward to trying this in the sauna.
