Inspired by the northern brewing tradition of flavoring beer with juniper boughs, we created Odin’s Gift, a deep ruby colored ale brewed with a touch of juniper berries. Rich caramel and roasted malt flavors compliment earthy hop aroma to produce a beer that easily pairs with a variety of foods.

Bottle. Mahogony-brown beer with a dark cream head. Juniper and malt aroma. Juniper and malt flavor with light caramel. Medium bodied. Juniper and light caramel lingers. Would score higher if I liked juniper in my beer.

Bomber bought at Super 1 in CDA, ID; listed as "Odin’t Gift: Amber Ale brewed with juniper berries." Pours a beautiful clear ruby red with a medium beige head with good retention. Weak nose consists of faint caramel, bready malt. Taste starts out sweet but turns bitter mid-palate. The juniper berries are noticeable, but unobtrusive (I would rather they be obtrusive!). Creamy mouthfeel and somewhat soft carbonation. Boring.

Sample at the Tap House Grill in Seattle. The beer is a dark reddish-amber color with a medium white head that burns away steadily. Partial rings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of malt and a touch of hops. Light-bodied with a biscuit malt character and notes of grassy hops. The finish is lightly bitter with an herbal hops aftertaste. Slightly above average overall.

Bomber from Malt & Vine. Pours a slightly ruddy dark amber with creamy beige head. Aromas of roasted malt and chocolate. Med minus body. Flavor is chocolate/roast malt. It’s slightly sweet. Could have used more juniper, and maybe more hop. But it’s an amber, and they are not supposed to be over the top hop. I guess. However, it finishes with a little hop and juniper, and the flavor combo works well.
