A non-traditional traditional ale, as the smoked malt isn't some Norwegian thing but what seems to be Weyermann beech. Murked out light brown, medium head. Massive smoke nose…the fruity-sticky kveik thing is there too but it’s a smoke bomb. On the palate, tart, with sticky ass malt, so the kveik is in full effect. Still absolutely full of smoke. I don’t much care for the underlying stickiness but if you’re going for classic Norwegian kveik this has to be on the right path.
