I don't know how to really rate this beer and I hope that I categorized it properly. It didn't seem like it was quite a sahti and, while it is Scandinavian rather than Scottish in origin, "Ancient Herbed Ale" seemed the best description.

It was outstanding and since I don't have style guidelines to utilize I will just say that it was golden in color and smelled strongly of juniper and other herbs. The juniper taste was very strong, but well balanced with a crisp malty flavor. The mouthfeel was light and crisp. Overall I really liked this beer. If I wasn't at a craft beer bar in Indiana offering a lot of other beers that I wanted to try I could have easily drank this all night. I hope I see more of these ancient Viking brews pop up to compare them, but if you spot this one I highly recommend it.
