We brewed a special beer for a nation-wide campaign to combat children’s cancer. All the profit of the sale of this beer will benefit the Dutch organisation that works to reduce the number of children with the disease. It has become an annual tradition to ask reputed breweries to brew this beer so we are honoured it is our turn in 2018.

We brewed a beautiful, firm but fresh blond of 6,2% for the occasion. The use of barley, rye, oats and spelt resulted in a wonderfully layered beer with herbal aroma’s and a touch of vanilla. The hops are subtle and provide a light tickle. All in all: full of taste yet very refreshing.

Bottle. Hideously expensive, but hey, it’s for Charity. Caramel and pear in the aroma and flavor. Soft floral notes. Quite a fruity flavor with Peach. Quite decent, although a bit too sweet.

Bottle @ home. Mostly a malty drink, with not much depth to it. A blonde with less herbs or a tripel without the herbs and body. I'm glad I supported Kika with this buy.
