REVIEW: Samuel Adams Norse Legend


This beer has been sitting in the back of my fridge for a while now. I've been busy drinking a lot of summery beers and IPAs lately which taste awfully good in the hot weather we've been having lately. But the heat seems to have finally broken. Gone are the 100+ degree days and oppressive humidity. The weather has gotten a bit cooler. It's not fall yet, but it's certainly on it's way. Now, I'm not ready to get into Fall seasonals and pumpkin beers yet. I'll get there, be patient. So with the weather beginning to change it's time for some different styles of beer. Today's beer is a sahti. Now sahti is a beer style that you're probably unfamiliar with. It's a traditional Finnish beer style and is among the oldest beer styles still being brewed. In recent years craft brewers have begun to look back at the style. The only one that I've had prior to Norse Legend was Dogfish Head's Sah' Tea, a combination of a traditional sahti and a chai tea. It was incredibly tasty. Today's offering is a bit more of a traditional take on the style. To the beer!
