The Kompaan Yu-Su Blonde is a lively, freshly Japanese-inspired Blonde Ale with 6% ABV from the Kompaan Brewery in The Hague, elevating the classic Blonde Ale style with a bold and distinctive ingredient: Yuzu, the aromatic Japanese citrus fruit so delicious that it appears three times on the label and is responsible for the characteristic citrus aroma, fresh, slightly tart liveliness, and unmistakable brightness of this beer. Brewed with Simcoe, Nelson Sauvin, and Amarillo hops, along with a rye malt base that gives the beer a subtle spicy depth, it presents itself clear and golden yellow with a fluffy white foam crown, accompanied by fresh yuzu citrus notes, tropical fruit tones of mango and passion fruit, a hint of orange and grapefruit, and a fine, spicy rye undertone, culminating in a sparkling, fresh, and clean finish. The Kompaan Yu-Su Blonde is the perfect choice for anyone seeking a high-quality, aromatically distinctive, and refreshingly lively Dutch Blonde Ale with an irresistible Japanese yuzu twist, equally convincing as a thirst-quenching summer companion to sushi, Asian dishes, and convivial terrace evenings, as well as a delightful proof that Kompaan always delivers a surprising and unmistakable twist even in the classic beer style format.
