Kickoff in Vancouver: Canadian Blonde Ale – 20 L

Brew Kickoff in Vancouver: our Canadian‑Style Blonde Ale recipe

Kickoff in Vancouver is our absolute must‑have for the summer season. Often overlooked, this Canadian style is incredibly effective. It was designed to offer perfect balance, crystal clarity and effortless drinkability during the hottest days of summer and the excitement of match nights.

The grain bill combines Pale Ale malt with Carahell malt, which brings lovely golden highlights and a light malty depth with delicate toasted notes. Working alongside it, Carapils plays its role perfectly by ensuring a dense, lasting white head throughout the tasting.

The result: a crystal‑clear blonde beer, soft and wonderfully refreshing. The legendary Citra hop, used exclusively in a hopstand (off‑flame), delivers citrus aromas lifted by a subtle tropical touch for a welcome burst of freshness. The true signature comes from the Kveik Yeastery K14 Eitrheim yeast: it brings a unique malty roundness that makes the beer exceptionally smooth, while its yellow‑fruit esters enhance the Citra. At a light 4.4% ABV, it’s the ultimate thirst‑quencher.
