Vossaøl

Vossaøl is a type of Norwegian farmhouse ale—a traditional beer style that has been brewed for centuries, primarily by farmers who used their grains and hops, along with local yeast. Although this traditional brewing is not as common as it used to be, it is starting to regain popularity. Unlike other types of local farmhouse ales, Vossaøl is made with unsmoked malt, so it does not have a smoky character.

It is often brewed with kveik (traditional yeast), and it is mainly flavored with juniper. The resulting brew is usually clear and dark amber or copper. It has a fruity and caramel-like aroma, and it is usually quite strong. Some of these beers are brewed with commercial yeasts, and several craft breweries try to imitate the style.
