Nørd Bliss

◎ Appearance

Nørd Bliss presents a pale golden hue with pronounced haze throughout, characteristic of a raw IPA fermented with kveik yeast. The beer displays lively carbonation and forms a creamy off-white head that clings to the glass with sustained lacing. The opacity speaks to the unfiltered, living nature of the brew.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with vibrant tropical fruit esters—coconut and stone fruit—driven by the Sabro hop profile. A clean, slightly herbal undertone balances the sweetness, with subtle citrus notes of lime and grapefruit emerging on closer inspection. The kveik fermentation contributes a bright, almost floral character without phenolic roughness.

◐ Taste

Entry is soft and approachable, with the tropical and fruity elements from the nose translating cleanly to the palate. Mid-palate reveals a subtle coconut sweetness layered with mild bitterness and a gentle herbal spice from the 60 IBU charge. The finish is moderately dry, with the haze contributing to a full mouthfeel that belies the modest 6.5% ABV.

◑ Finish

The aftertaste lingers with a pleasant coconut and citrus dryness, fading gradually without harshness. A faint herbal bitterness persists, anchoring the finish and inviting another sip.
