I would bet money that this is a kveik derived strain and not turbo distillers yeast. Probably they just started propping up Lutra from Omega (which is an isolate from the Hornindal culture). It ferments very clean even at high temps, it does not produce a lot of esters, it's non-phenolic and also does not produce a ton of fusels or diacetyl.
Right, it does sound like kveik. Wouldn't guess which one or even whether it actually is kveik, I doubt that category really exists in a well defined manner lately, but is clearly useful as object property. I should probably start testing yeasts at high temperature as well as on cold, might be gems hidden there.
