Here we have the essence of a traditional Sauna captured in a bottle. (No sweat in the brew, we promise). Expect a strong birch aroma and super refreshing flavour. A perfect accompaniment to sauna living, and also for the short but intense Nordic Summers. Brewed using real birch leaves, the same ones used as whips in saunas. An exhilarating drop.

One of those you will like or hate! Not as herbal or spicy as expected, so for me, I’m in the like camp ? love a beating with birch twigs! ??
Chris –
Nice and woody taste.
Alex Steeden –
Very woody – definitely fits the birch and quite herby, but ultimately feels a little OTT and not very drinkable over a full bottle. Bit of an odd one.
Michael –
Definitely get the herby spiciness, but does taste a little rubbery.

light ale taste, with a wooded overtones. crisp and sharp start. Good overall, but not the WOW I was hoping for
Gareth –
Sweet and refreshing. Hard to believe that flavour comes from birch leaves! Wonderful taste
Mark –
Birchy pine but over fermented in the bottle

A nice balance of birch taste
Andrew –
Very distinctive taste -well made balance of flavours
Aileen –
Very lively. Weissbier more than a spiced beer.
Vicky –
I hadn’t even heard of ‘birch ale’ or Tanker if i’m honest. This was a very light lager style beer, very drinkable on a hot summers day.

Never tried birch ale before. Quite nice but probably not suitable for all people.
Katrina –
First time I’m trying a birch ale so I’m not sure what they’re supposed to taste like, but it tastes very herb-y? Almost like italian seasoning? Despite that it is very crisp, not sure I would get this one again.
JB –
Very tasty, goes down well.
Anonymous –
Quite tangy and fruity. Would go well with a rich meaty meal, or cheese.

pleasant slightly bitter after taste birch adds something but am not sure i would buy again
Michael –
Very refreshing light taste. Mellow hop taste followed by birch notes and a slightly sweet aftertaste reminiscent of tree sap (in a good way).
