This beer is a Kveik IPA. The Kveik, or more correctly the Voss Kveik is the yeast that is used in this beer. It has its origins in Norway but turns up all over the world now and is regarded as a classic yeast. This has been used to brew a modern IPA. The team at Better World have gone with Simcoe, Ekuanot, el Dorado and Comet hops. So this beer's influences are from all over the world. Most of us believe that we should all do something to make the world a better or safer place, not all of us act on it. The team at Better World plan to use revenue to plant 100,000 trees in places where deforestation is causing devastation - more power to them!
On the nose this beer is a little reserved letting out a little hint of earthy malt and a hint of peach. In the mouth it takes off! Tropical fruits, melon and mango, then a hit of citrus, followed by citrus malt, one of those beers that lifts your eyebrows. It does not hide it abv (6.5%) but neither does it boss the beer about the depth of flavour is perfectly matched by its strength. This is definitely not a session beer but I could take a second! totally fascinating.
