The Kompaan Levensgenieter – Dutch for "life enjoyer" – is the centerpiece and the beer for which the Kompaan Brewery from The Hague was founded, according to their own statement: an uncomplicated, fresh, and tropical-fruity shining New England IPA with 4.5% ABV, brewed with Mosaic and Citra hops, barley, oats, and wheat. With its smooth body, low 18 IBU bitterness, and sessionable alcohol content, it shows everyone that an NEIPA can also be lighthearted and accessible. In the glass, it presents itself in an inviting hazy golden yellow, with a lively aroma of tropical fruits like mango, passion fruit, citrus, and stone fruit transitioning into a juicy, creamy-soft first sip, carried by a fine, floral hop note and a harmonious, pleasantly restrained bitterness, culminating in a fresh, light-footed finish. The Kompaan Levensgenieter is the perfect choice for anyone looking for a fresh, aromatic-tropical, and sessionable NEIPA that convinces equally at the beach, during a barbecue, while watching football, or simply in good company, always delivering what its name promises: pure, uncomplicated enjoyment of life.
