2019 GOLD / Brewers guild New Zealand
A ‘sahti’ is a Finnish-style, tree-flavoured farm ale, traditionally made with juniper boughs. Our Manuka Sahti is a New Zealand version of a sahti, made using manuka leaf added at the boil. The flavors are subtle, refreshing and satisfying. Floral notes of orange blossom come from the manuka, and a juicy mouth-feel from the use of rye malt. The clean finish makes this a great beer to serve with rich and savory dishes.
The bug on the label is New Zealand’s Manuka Chafer Beetle, commonly found on manuka trees.
Serve at 8~10℃

Brewer's Notes
Crystal rye malt and manuka leaf make this beer come to life. Refreshing and dry, the perfect beer to accompany a lovely dinner of sticky BBQ ribs. Yum!
