The Ale Apothecary

Sahati is a complex Brett Beer that bridges the gap between ancient brewing traditions and modern wild ales. Brewed with spruce and aged in wine barrels, it delivers a punchy aromatic profile of pine resin and forest floor, intertwined with the vinous depth of toasted oak. The Brettanomyces fermentation imparts a sophisticated funk—think sun-dried hay and earthy stone fruits—while the honey used for bottle fermentation contributes a subtle floral lift and an exceptionally bone-dry finish. At 9.5% ABV, this American Wild Ale offers a warming, structural complexity where the resinous bitterness of spruce melds seamlessly with rustic, wild yeast character.

Appearance. Deep gold to light amber in color (10-14 SRM); displays a moderate, off-white head with fair retention and light lacing; clarity is slightly hazy due to the presence of wild yeast and forest ingredients.

Aroma. High intensity with a dominant forest character of pine needles and resinous spruce; secondary notes of funk, including wet hay and earthy barnyard; fruity Brettanomyces esters of overripe pineapple and apricot; subtle floral honey and vinous oak undercurrents.

Taste. Initial impression is dry and resinous; sharp spruce flavors meld with vinous white wine and oak tannins; moderate funk featuring leather and earth; hop bitterness is low, but spruce provides a firm, herbal bitterness; the finish is very dry, lingering with pine and floral honey notes.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body despite the high ABV; moderate to high carbonation provides an effervescent, prickly sensation; noticeable but well-integrated alcohol warmth; mild tannic astringency from the wine barrels and spruce needles.
