Description
A wonderfully unique Norwegian farmstead kveik, Hornindal produces a tropical flavor and complex aroma that can present itself as stonefruit, pineapple, and dried fruit leather, which complement fruit-forward hops. Add even more dimension to C hops and increase ester intensity with a high fermentation temperature. Ferments well at 90°F+. Non-phenolic and no fusels, even at higher temperatures.
