Description
Kompaan had humble beginnings, with just a few recipes and a whole lot of gusto. The brewery was founded by Jeroen and Jasper, two school friends that have known each other longer than not. They shared a zest for life and were ready to put The Hague on the craft beer map. The brewery name is based on this friendship, two companions drinking together. As a modern, young brewery making contemporary, exciting beers, the name is spelt in modern Dutch, as “kompaan”, and not “compaen”.

Can. Slight hazy golden with big white head. Juicy hops, light caramel, zesty, bread crust, light dough. Medium sweet and bitter,medium bodied. Quite nice, this is more a modern West Coast IPA, and I think Kompaan is better at this sort of thing than hazy IPAs.

330ml can from Albert Heijn, Tilburg. Drunk at Roadburn. Pours a misty pale yellow, white head. Aroma of soft citrus with gentle tropical notes, continues to taste, comes across quite light and thin. Middle-of-the-road supermarket 'dad craft' tone. Bit of a stretch to call this an NEIPA, but it's a pleasant citrussy pale all the same.

(Draft at Arendsnest, Amsterdam, 20 Feb 2025) Pale amber colour, hazy, with frothy off-white head. Fruity, hoppy nose with orange peel, apricots and resin. Fruity, hoppy taste with notes of orange peel, apricots, resin, caramel, tropical fruit and a generous citric/resiny bitterness in a slightly boozy finish. Almost full body, with a certain sweetness. Rich, hoppy and warming. Very nice.

Keg at If It Ain't Dutch, Bermondsey. Opaque vaguely hazy gols. Thin foamy white head soon recedes. Aroma is sweet but herb led.. Having said that, it is also super sweet. Banana puree? Perhaps. Light. Thin. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long dry slightly astringent finish. Nice. Easy drinking despite thr sweetness.

Keg at If It Ain't Dutch. Near clear gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Light palate, smooth, decent fine minerally carbonation on the back end. Mellow sweetish malts. A nice floralness, a light fruity floralness. Not a particularly complex tripel but bright and drinkable.
