Very lively, exploded upon opening and it immediately reminds me of a sour beer in that respect but also with a saison like sour aroma. Speaking of which...the aroma is tropical and sharp citrus, but all in all quite mild on the nose. I'm getting pineapple, grapefruit and maybe some peach from the kviek yeast. It's semi hazy with a golden hue in appearance.
Thin, clean and gently sparkling away in the mouth with light body and fast finish. It's light overall with the citrus, stone and tropical fruit flavours floating and coming together creating a pseudo saison sour beer. Kviek yeast and kviek IPAs are a source of contention and this beers a potential prime example of it. A tropical IPA brings to mind NEIPA, as it should, yet the use of Kviek transposes this brew into summut else, like I say, a saison-like wheaty and yeasty sour brew. It's not bad on the whole, but I can see why you could be disappointed. It's much closer to a west coast than a NEIPA, with it's clean and crisp nature and even though there's a lack of pine to make that comparison, but still there's no getting away from the light sour tang.
Think of it as a west coast come saison. I'm not that keen on it, but it's drinkable and got flavour in there for sure.

Nice beer this one. Light, bitter and sweet. Hints of grapefruit and citrus make this beer a really flavoursome one. Tastes really light and the carbonation is perfect. Bosh one this for the comeback👍

Slightly sour and a slightly tropical flavour but nothing special really in my opinion

Smooth cloudy tropical kveik IPA. Definitely more than typical citrus flavour; apparently stone fruit and blueberry.
