Les Zythonautes Norvegian Dream
This Norwegian-inspired Double IPA delivers an assertive sensory profile amplified by a Double Dry Hopping process. Fermented with Kveik yeast, the beer exhibits a unique fermentation character that seamlessly integrates with the prominent additions of tangerine peel. The aroma is intense, dominated by citrus oils and tropical fruit esters, while the palate offers a complex layering of resinous pine and juicy citrus flavors. Despite its 8% strength, it maintains high drinkability with a clean, neutral malt backbone. It finishes dry with a firm, lingering bitterness, capturing the essence of a modern, hazy-leaning Double IPA without being overly heavy.
Appearance. Color is deep gold to light orange (SRM 7-9). Appearance is hazy with a moderate-sized, persistent, off-white head that leaves significant lacing.
Aroma. High intensity hop aroma featuring tangerine peel and citrus zest. Kveik-derived esters provide complementary notes of stone fruit. A very low, neutral, grainy malt character is supportive in the background, accompanied by a hint of pine resin.
Taste. Strong and complex hop flavors of tangerine and grapefruit with a slightly resinous aftertaste. Bitterness is moderately high but remains smooth. Low, clean, unobtrusive malt character. Fermentation contributes a moderate fruitiness that balances the dry finish. No harshness or solventy alcohol is present.
Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, soft texture. Carbonation is moderate to medium-high. Well-integrated alcohol warmth is noticeable but restrained, without any harsh hop-derived astringency.
