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”.

Bottle. Aroma is caramel malt with obvious candy sugar, notes of cinnamon. Hint of tobacco. Moderate sweet and bitter flavour, medium body. Not bad per se, but what a nondescript beer... nothing like a milkshake NEIPA as stated on the label.

330ml can. Semi-hazed yellow gold with small white head, modest retention. Aroma of sweet tropical passionfruit and mango with some notable pale malts. Taste follows same pattern; tropical notes and soft malts. Pleasant if unspectacular. Some modest bitterness in the finish. Soft mouthfeel. OK.
