Moczybroda Finnish Him! is a robust, rustic Saison that draws deep sensory inspiration from the Finnish Sahti tradition. The soul of this beer is the authentic Suomen Hiiva yeast, which contributes a distinctive aromatic layer of ripe banana and baking spices rarely seen in traditional Belgian variants. Despite its 8% ABV, the beer remains highly attenuated and effervescent. It weaves together the grainy, farmhouse character of a strong ale with the peppery phenolics of a classic Saison, resulting in a complex, artisanal experience that finishes dry with a pleasant, integrated warmth and a lingering earthy hop presence.
Appearance.Deep amber to burnt orange with a moderate haze. Topped by a dense, ivory, long-lasting head that leaves consistent lacing. Effervescent with visible carbonation.
Aroma.High intensity with a complex fermentation profile. Pronounced fruity esters of ripe banana and red apple from the Suomen Hiiva yeast are balanced by spicy phenolics like black pepper and faint clove. The malt presents as rustic, grainy, and slightly bready. Low earthy hop notes provide a grounded floral background, while a subtle, clean alcohol warmth emerges as the beer warms.
Taste.Initial burst of fruity esters—banana and pome fruit—is quickly met by a firm, spicy yeast character. The malt provides a soft, grainy, and slightly rustic foundation. Hop bitterness is moderate but assertive, ensuring a very dry, crisp finish despite the higher gravity. Notes of black pepper and a touch of herbal earthiness linger in the aftertaste. The alcohol is well-integrated, providing a light, pleasant warmth.
Mouthfeel.Medium-full body with high, effervescent carbonation that provides a prickly sensation on the tongue. Noticeable but smooth alcohol warmth is present. Smooth texture with no astringency.
