Notes:
This Ancient Ale is a modern take on a 9th-century Finnish beer.
The wort for Sah'tea is caramelized over white-hot river rocks, and the beer is fermented with a German weizen yeast. In addition to juniper berries foraged from the Finnish countryside, Sah'tea is flavored with black tea, cardamom, cinnamon, ginger, cloves and black pepper.
The spicing is subtle and balanced, and Sah'tea is a highly-quaffable, truly unique brew with a full mouthfeel.

A generous trade item from inlimbo77, thanks Bill! A capped 750 mL bottle split amongst myself and three others.
Pours a very hazy yellow/orange color. Very little foamy white head erupts, making the appearance reminiscent of an unfiltered hefeweizen with less than normal head. The smell is where it hooks you though. Wow, I everything I own to smell like this! It’s quite complex, with faint mint, tea, random herbs, juniper, floral hops, and light citrus all melding together in the best way possible. Taste is also up to par, with a faint yeast sensation, juniper, lemon, cinnamon, straw/hay, and light berries. Reminds me of a fruity, spicy saison (that was in my notes for some reason, so I included it here). Mouthfeel is smooth, invigorating, and refreshing. Overall, a very unique and delicious beer.
