Observable Traits

AROMA CHARACTERISTICS:
The Voss Kveik strain produces ales with a neutral aroma profile across a wide temperature range. Due to the neutral aroma punctuated by subtle orange and citrusy esters, this yeast
lends itself very well to hop-forward pale ales and IPAs.
FLAVOUR/MOUTHFEEL CHARACTERISTICS:
This highly attenuative yeast will leave moderately low levels of residual sugar, resulting in cleanly fermented beers that are relatively dry. The flavour profile is neutral except for the presence of restrained orange and citrus fruit notes.
HIGHER ALCOHOL BEERS:
With the ability to reach up to 12% ABV, this highly robust and very fast fermenting yeast strain is ideal for use in higher alcohol beers. Its clean yet somewhat fruity flavour profile makes it perfect for making double and triple IPAs.
