Dogfish Head Sah'tea:
Greetings friends and neighbors, I hate to keep revisiting the same brewery but it’s hard not too when you have the unique brews of Dogfish Head. Today’s dip into the Dogfish pool of beer brings up their Sah’tea, another beer in their Ancient Ale line that is a take on a 9th-century Finnish beer. Brewed in a very complex way that includes white hot river rocks, juniper berries from Finland, black tea and a wide variety of spices. This is a beer first conceived in the back room of the Rehoboth brew pub originally that is, unfortunately, a limited release and a lot of you may never get the joy of trying this awesome concoction. Available only in the big bottle variety, this brew pours lightly with little foam and minor lacing but does give of an aromatic nose of ginger, tea, and spice. The beer’s taste is much like the nose and is more akin to drinking a spiked brewed tea than a beer though the high carbonation will remind you that it is a beer. Delicious and light this beer is one that if you should ever run across it or a chance to sample, do it. Not just for the fact that it is part of the Ancient Ales line but it’s a rarity that needs to sampled by as many people as possible. Again, it’s a shame this isn’t available to a wider audience.
