Beer reviews: Kiitos Sahti and Salt Lake Brewing Rye of the Tiger

This is a farmhouse-style ale that originates from Finland.

Kiitos - Sahti : This is a farmhouse-style ale that originates from Finland. Sahtis primarily use juniper twigs during the brewing process in place of hops, creating more of a balance and imparting a resiny character. The Kiitos interpretation has a solid pour and produces a minimal off-white head; a very light amber/straw hue shows an unfiltered clarity.

The aroma smells of juniper, biscuit-like malt, some spicy grain, lots of grapefruit, some lychee aromas and light juicy notes. The juniper didn't pop like I anticipated, but there is a lot going on here.
