8% ABV, Norse Trails is a kveik double IPA dry-hopped with Idaho 7, Galaxy and Citra BBC brewed in collaboration with Kim from Hops and Haze.
Kim is a legendary home brewer in Denmark. We have come together to create a beer where home brewing meets professional brewing and where our shared Nordic heritage meets modern interpretations of beer.
To make this beer extra special, we have experimented with things we haven't done before, specifically in terms of using Hornindal kveik yeast in a DIPA and playing with biotransformation by dry-hopping pre-fermentation. Our intention with the kveik yeast is straight forward: to add to and intensify the tropical flavors of the hops.
Dry-hopping pre-fermentation, on the other hand, exposes the hops to yeast and the reaction brings out flavors from the hops that you wouldn't otherwise experience from Idaho 7 and Citra. The remaining hop for this beer, Galaxy, will be added in with the final regular dry-hop.face
As it is our first time with a dry-hop pre-fermentation, we're excited about the results and excited to see where this experiment leads us. Skål!

Copenhagen 12/4 2021. 44 cl can from Meny, Borups Allé, Frb. F. White can with black silhouette of an Angel-like feature standing under a strange clock-like symbol.
Pours opaque hazy yellow with a mid-sized white head. Settles as thin layer of foam just managing to over the surface of the beer. No Laing to speak of.
Aroma is fairly intense with a fruity and sweet odor mingling with citric notes and sour scent of cheese. Sweet peach and perfumed mango. Whiff of barnyard.
Light carbonation. Slightly thick, oily, lightly tingling texture.
Flavor is intense with a medium strong sweetness followed by and balanced by a medium strong bitterness. Aftertaste is sourish and bitter. Lingers for a while. Finish is dry.
Intense DIPA with a distinct touch of weird Norwegian yeast and going easy on the alcohol.
