How would you say it tastes?
Nice and clean. It gets the thumbs up from the Missus.
When it was younger it had the orangy flavour associated with Kviek but now it just tastes like a blonde/pale ale.
I've been using Kveik Hornindal (from Cross My Loof) in every beer I've brewed for a little over a year and I swear by it. I pretty much only brew light/pale ales nowadays and it gives the most amazing subtle tropical fruit flavours to the finished beer without being overwhelming or cloying.
That said, I did just bottle a batch of basic light ale brewed using Allinson easy bake bread yeast as an experiment (I use bread yeast all the time for mead, first time for a beer though) and the little taste from the sample jar was really good, so I may lean in favour of that once in a while.

I use Voss to make an IPA and the tipped an ESB wort onto the lees of the IPA both beers turned out really well. I fermented at a low temperature 26 C and then bottled it. I cannot believe how well the beer poured from the bottle without a hint of yeast being carried over into the glass even with double pours from the same bottle. I will use this yeast again .
