Norwegian Scream
Tin Dog Brewing

Poured into a Fremont small snifter. Pours a lightly hazy, medium golden amber with a thin white head that dissipates to patches with light lacing. Aroma of grainy malt, saison yeast, spicy citrus and juniper. Flavor follows, with farmhouse grainy malt, saison yeast, juniper and a touch of grapefruit in the finish. Medium bodied with light to medium creaminess. A solid farmhouse style ale with just the right amount of juniper. Although this uses kveik yeast, it gives a solid rustic character of open fermented saison style ales. I'm getting a lightly tart grapefruit citrus note, but I may be the yeast combined with the juniper, which also gives a mild piney flavor. I was pleasantly surprised by this; Tin Dog leans to wild and tarter beer that don't suit my palette, but I found this to be a pleasant farmhouse style ale with elements of saison with juniper flavors. Nicely done.
