Dogfish Head Sahtea


I cannot wait to try the new Dogfish Head Sahtea. They recently received label approval and have scheduled a late May release. Their description of this unique concoction just gtets my mouth watering:

“A modern update on a 9th century Finnish proto-beer. Brewed with rye, we caramelize the wort with white hot river rocks, then ferment it with a German Weizen yeast. In addition to juniper berries foraged directly from the Finnish country-side we added a sort of tea made with coriander, cardamom, lemon grass, Indian Black Tea, and ramps leaves. The spicing is subtle and balanced and Sahtea is a highly-quaffable, truly-unique brew with a full-mouth feel.”
We may not all love it but how can you not want to try something that sounds as tantalizing as that.
