Nøgne Ø We Love Wheat is a collaboration beer with Lervig and classified as a Wheat IPA. Brewed using just 100% wheat malts (munich & cara) and generously hopped and dry hopped with centennial, cascade, warrior and simcoe. Nice to see these 2 big and market leading Norwegian breweries come together to brew such an unique beer together.
Amazing looking beer, blood orange in colour with a very hazy body as expected from just wheat malts, and the head was a light yellow to cream colour. Aroma was big and very fresh, so much citrus, pine, oranges and spices here. Very hoppy aroma which I just loved and ranked this as one of the better Nøgne Ø IPA aromas I have tasted.
The body was medium, had some sweetness in it and was also packed with juicy oranges and hoppy pine resin. Not sure what the IBU was for this beer, it was bitter but the sweetness seemed to be more dominant. At 7.9% this was very hard to tell, would love to have many of these bottles to drink on a warm summers day.
Wheat IPA is something I plan to brew, best of both worlds it seems with some spiciness coming from the wheat and the strong hops line-up making it a great IPA. Kjetil & Mike, great job, I love this beer.
