Can. Slightly opaque golden, with tightly beaded white head. Grassy nose with a hint of barnyard. This is the most saison-like kveik I've supped. The fresh hops do come through in terms of the greenness, but there is loads of straw too. This would be a big shock as a purchase if you were expecting IPA!

Can. Almost clear gold with a small white head. Aroma of dried orange and lemon peel, some peach and pineapple. A bit funky and you wonder whether it will be sour - but no. Lightish bodied with rather dull crackery malt hose sweetness is enlivened by the curious citrus and herbal notes of the kveik (and I guess the fresh hops...). Moderate spiced bitterness at the end. I don't know why you'd call this an IPA.
