Canis Rouge

Sahti is one of the most ancient beer styles known to man. Hailing from Finland, traditionally this style is not hopped, not boiled, and fermented with bread yeast. To craft an ale that bears the flavor components of this complex style, we used oatmeal, rye and caramel malts, layered in a level of sourness to imitate the characteristics of a non-boiled ale, brewed with Juniper berries in lieu of hops, and fermented with a phenolic blend of yeast strains. We then refermented the beer with blood oranges to add our own touch to this many-layered ale. The result is a beer like no other beer in the world. Kippis!
