Sahti from Colorado

new-belgium-sahti

Lips of Faith soldiers on with a variant of the Finland drink Sahti. I have had the Nogne O and thought it wasn’t bad. Gin qualities and pretty light without losing complexity.

Here is what New Belgium says, “a traditional rye ale brewed with juniper, Trip IV is a hazy amber ale with a sturdy mouthfeel and a crisp and lively ‘finnish.’ Brewed with Pale, Crystal, rye malts and whole oats, Trip IV is bittered with Cascade and finished with Cascade and Amarillo hops. Juniper boughs are added to the mash and juniper berries, orange & lemon peel are pitched in the whirlpool creating a festive olfactory of citrus and juniper notes.”
