Re: Rural Norwegian Ale

The sahti I know is a Finnish ale made from Rye, like a Kvass, I suppose (I've never tasted any) but with juniper. This is a good point, though: the Norwegian barley-based ale (known simply as "ol" (with a line through the o and the word simply means "beer")) is liable to be very similar, given the juniper "hopping" and the similar climate. Perhaps if I assume it lies between a Sahti and a Scottish ale?
