Now a homebrew. This is a very low-alc beer, the ABV clocks as little as 1.5 %. Meant for the sauna, now accompanies my meal. This is interesting but also risky: the flavoring is horseradish flower. We got a "wild" horseradish in our compound, we've never planted one. It has most likely once been planted somewhere here and survived ever since. Could be a long time ago. Horseradish is a vegetable, not a fruit, so expect it to taste vegetal. Not necessarily a huge asset in a beer but I hope I'll get what I have used in the brewing. The beer is cloudy copper. The carbonation is adequately lively. A minuscule-bubbled head climbs one finger high and dissipates then to a thin lace ring in the sides. A fragile haze wafts in the middle. The scent doesn't impress me much: vegetal and marginally worty. The vegetal part hits through big time. I tasted the horseradish flower when I picked them, and yes, this is it. Good. But not very attractive. It's like mild horseradish with a twist of wasabi, mixed with green hay or weed. The worty backbone pops up occasionally in the air. No wort on the tongue though. Horseradish is distinct, as if in a floral form. Impotent light malt, green hay, a pinch of yeast and weird fermented citrus peel complete the experience. Not inspiring at all. The body is scanty. Meaning watery. No surprise at this low an ABV. And this was brewed from the third runnings of the Sahti wort, almost all the fermentable sugars had already been exhausted, so this remained with a very small amount only. The finish gives a hint of horseradish but otherwise leaves no engram in my brain. The mouthfeel is watery, vegetal, floral, herbal, faintly piquant and a tad as unfinished. Very unique for sure. Generally speaking, not a big hit. Maybe I should try to pair this with sushi? Or some super spicy Asian soup? I'm glad it delivers what I used in the brewing. On the other hand, this can't be considered a success. Fortunately, the batch is very small, only four bottles left. I'll manage. But no need to repeat this flavoring. 😅
