I was truly looking forward to trying this and finally had the opportunity last night. Maybe I built it up too much in my mind but it was disappointing. I'm not saying it was a bad beer but it definitely did not have the complexity that one would expect given the tradition of a sahti style brew. It had a very mild piny taste and the finish was nonexistent. Their was no noticeable effect from the juniper and it truly tasted like a generic brown ale. When I told the barkeep my thoughts he poured himself a sample to taste and completely agreed.
Has anyone else had this? We're my expectations too high?
