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.
