George Washington was of Norwegian ancestry. Specifically, his ancestors were from the Voss region of Norway. This ale, brewed only a mile down the road from his winter headquarters during the revolution, pays homage to his personal history... or some such nonsense. It's really just an excuse to try to make a fruit-forward cream ale and experiment with Omega Voss Kveik yeast.

This recipe was cloned from Silver Six Shooter Cream Ale.

Notes:

Interesting. Not amazing, but not bad either. Needs more biscuity/graham cracker flavor and a better paired fruity hop to go with the Omega Voss Kveik yeast. The yeast makes the cream ale smell a bit like a farmhouse ale... maybe a farmhouse cream ale? I will be revising this recipe for future batches. May also add apricot, peach, or vanilla flavors. (This is why you experiment in 1 gallon batches)
