Hoppy Kveik Wheat Ale for Spring - Brew Dudes

We dive into a Hoppy LupoMAX Wheat Ale fermented with Kveik Voss just in time for warmer weather.
Mike brewed up this reddish amber wheat beer to use up some LupoMAX hops. He used Citra and Sabro LupoMAX hops on this one. Playing with a little mash hopping and then nothing but late boil hop bursting with this one. Check the recipe below.
For further experimentation, this beer was fermented with Kveik Voss. Voss is one of the cleaner kveik strains but it is known to show a little orange and citrus qualities which Mike hoped would pair well with the Citra hops.
This beer delivered some string citrus and citrus pith notes. The Sabro brought a strange not quite lime/coconut thing to the table. It sort of seemed funky. Can't say the Voss did anything special here aside from fermenting relatively fast even at room temperature. Mike doesn't really see a reason to ferment at 90F degrees.
CHEERS!

Super honest review, colour of beer is awesome, looks very well made.

Respect for making a beer with ingredients you don’t like, that’s a good challenge

[@mustyditch4703]

Mike is going to be soooooooo disappointed in me ... Sabro is my favourite hop. I do the Sierra Nevada clone and dry hop with Sabro ... absolutely delicious.

I used Kveik once, and only once haha. Gave the beer a sharp, acidic, almost acetic aroma/flavor. Cheers guys

[@grahamhawes7089]

I perceive it as very tart, almost like a sour. I don’t care for it.

Cracking video guys, I've just pitched the yeast into my Höegaarden clone but I've used Mandarina Bavaria hops as I didn't have any orange peel to use - wish me luck

Thank you for saying your comment about sabro

[@drik79]

I'm also on the dislike Sabra side, I do like coconut but not in a IPA/hoppy beer. Kveik is a bit hit or miss, some of my beers turned out great, but the ´funky' kveik things is not great for every beer type.

I like Sorachi Ace more than Sabro.
