Listed as Finnish Sahti on UnTappd with 73 ratings averaging 3.72 and almost half this month, Fin Land is a recent release. Bought from a favorite source of regional micros. I really wish I had found Fin Land sooner.
I note that I'm no expert on Sahtis; having only 4 with 2 from Mobcraft (also 'sconsin) and one from Off Color who is a great farmhouse brewer along the Chicago River.

My main point about Fin Land is a question: how is it possible that such a young brewer can produce such quality in an obscure style ? You tell me how they could give such a soft mouth Feel. You tell me how balance can be made with more juniper than hops.

As for my micro-review, I give Karben4 good points OA for their story about how they grew their business from a taproom to a canner to distribution outside of Madison to braving the Illinois ABC (that last part is not on the website.) Their website is thoughtful, but the basic story is a well-trod path shared by many micros. Karben4's portfolio is typical American micro and does not make me hunger for more; but I certainly wish I can get Fin Land again.
