COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Juniper Farmhouse Ale: Brynhildr’s Gift is named for the valkyrie Brynhildr, who, upon being awaken by the dragon-slaying hero Sigfried, gave him the gifts of ale and wisdom. While not a traditional Scandinavian ale, I used rye, juniper berries, and some traditional brewing techniques to create a modern farmhouse ale with character that would be recognizable to the old norse.

Cloudy brownish orange with massive peach-white head. Aroma is strongly breadlike, with apricot, cinnamon, hay, and honey notes. Taste is very sweet. The body is heavier, but the active carbonation keeps it from having a syrupy feel. The swingtop made a rather loud "pop" each time openned.

While moving this one, the poorly constructed cap broke so I had to drink it up. Amber with a creamy tan head. Aroma of yeast, grassy and earthy hops, fruit and bready notes. Taste is sweet and earthy with juniper, fruit, alcohol and malt. Sweet to the point of cloying.

750ml swing top courtesy of theisti, thanks Tim. Spicey honey, herbal, slightly floral, hint of banana and a touch of dough. Great tight carbonation with a medium to full feel. Doughy honey, spicey banana yeast notes, slight hint of juniper...more just a general herbal character. Nice honey finish, solid stuff.
