Vivo is a wonderfully drinkable session IPA. Modern hop flavours are layered on top of a uniquely fermented 4.9% beer. This beer is all about showcasing the Kveik yeast strain which comes from the wilderness of Norway where it has been used for decades of farmhouse brewing. The hops we used are intense, bringing an upfront classic bitterness combined with a fruit-juice like punch of flavour.

330ml bottle. Hazy light gold, small white head, some retention; ok. Lovely fruity aroma of mango coming through, a touch of confectionary and yeast. Taste is grapefruit, mango, yeast, moderate dry bitterness throughout but a rather wet mouthfeel balances the dryness. Nice carbonation zing. Very enjoyable.

Can from Better Foods, Bristol. Pale gold in colour, and cloudy, with slight carbonation and a short-lived, white, head. Light aroma of citrus hop, yeasty grains and green herbs. Flavour had some tangerine fruit, ripe malts, touch of mustiness and a dryish finish. Good.

(Draught at In De Wildeman, Amsterdam, 28 Feb 2020) Hazy yellow colour with lasting, off-white head. Fruity, hoppy nose with citrus, tropical fruit, bread and yeast. Fruity, hoppy taste with notes of citrus, grapefruit, unripe pineapple, bread and a mild tartness in a finish with a balanced citric bitterness. Medium body, dry. Fresh and tasty with an interesting yeast touch. Nice one.
