Nerve Tonic Juniper Saison

An innovative little number from Toronto’s Eastbound Brewing Co., Nerve Tonic Juniper Saison is a 6.1% ale sold in 355mL cans. It’s a faintly hazy golden ale that pours with a modest white head and, not shockingly, it has a yeasty, botanical aroma.

Nerve Tonic (great name, BTW) has a pretty bold, earthy, yeast-driven flavour. There is a faintly ginny note, but it is subtle and nicely integrated. The back end is a bit floral, with a slightly spicy uptick.

I thought that Nerve Tonic was a delight—it has decent strength and an agreeable, slightly unusual flavour. Solid offering.

Rating: 8.5 out of 10.
