As long as this is my rating #10K I feel I can write whatever I like. But I will try to keep focus. I wanted it to be a Norwegian beer. And of course a jolly good one also. The last duel was between Hogna and Qvart. Two small breweries with a high amount of goodies. And when Kveikasaurus popped up the deal was done. The kveik twist in this double IPA was really nice. I have also visited this brewery and the people at this brewery are really nice and friendly. The beer had a fine hazy golden pour with a fine head that left a decent lacing down the sides of the glass. Aroma was surprisingly mild at first. Became better after a while. Yeast (kveik), fruity and hoppy was the most prominent stuff in my nose. I feel it had a well balanced bitterness and sweetness for a beer with 10 horsepower. Not to sweet and no harse bitterness either. Solid. It had a fine long duration also. Very pleasant. Even when quite warm. Ok it was boozy, but no horrible sticky alcohol in here. Well done bhoyz. Solid thick oily body off course. But still dangerously easy to drink. The flavor contained kveik, fruity stuff, malt, citric hops and pine. Ok my friend the butcher from Loddefjord did not fance this one. But in my opinion this is an excellent powerful beer. You go straight into Jurassic Park after bottle #2. Qvart you get my vote for #1 beer 2019 and thanks for a solid 10K experience. [Bottle from Vinmonopolet Oslo City and on tap at Fredrikstad Ølfestival 2019]

330ml bottle, #279, bought at Vinmonopolet Langnes. A white head dissipating over a cloudy golden body. Dotted spots on the glass. Moderate aroma of ripe orange, mid-tart. Mixed taste of orange tartness and kveik. Hints of orange shells towards the ending. Drinkable, but not much to my liking. Wrong choice of beer on a Friday eve. (Tromsø 14.06.2019).

Murky brown pour with no head Do not look that inviting :-) Decent intensity in the aroma. Bready and dark malt Thick fat body and a mellow carbonation level Some mote bitterness would have helped this one Vinous, yeast and fruity flavor with a little chili sting in the back Hmmm nah this one did not become my friend :-) [On tap at Fredrikstad Ølfestival 2019]

Gyldenbrun. Middels høyt skum som stabiliserer seg lavt. Spotlacing. Maltaroma. Smaken mest malt. Spor av sitrusfrukt. Tørr syrlig avslutning.
