Fermented syrup Fermented syrup, is kilju with sugar (plain sugar, fruits, etc.) that either has not been consumed by killed yeast, or that has been added after kilju has been cleared. Consumption Kilju is often mixed with juice or some other beverage to mask off tastes, of which there can be several. Compared to wines, kilju most closely resembles Beaujolais nouveau, which is drunk after only a few weeks of fermentation. However, properly made kilju will not easily turn into vinegar, lacking the nutrients necessary for further fermentation. It is possible to drink kilju years after it was made if it has been properly stored. In fact as white wines, it ages well into 2-3a, especially when made from impure cane sugar, molasses included (fariinisokeri), or if brewed partially from oat malt and hops, as an extra strong beer.
