Dokkaebier Lychee Blonde: A Refreshing, Tropical Korean Craft Beer
What is Lychee Blonde?
Lychee Blonde is Dokkaebier’s easy-drinking, fruit-forward craft beer made with real lychee for a crisp and refreshing experience. Its light body and balanced sweetness make it the perfect choice for warm days or whenever you crave something smooth and uplifting. The result is a golden blonde ale with subtle floral notes, bright aroma, and a clean finish that keeps you coming back for more.
What is Lychee?
Lychee is a tropical fruit cherished across Asia for its delicate sweetness and floral fragrance. Beneath its bumpy red shell lies translucent, juicy flesh with a taste that blends rose, pear, and melon. It’s refreshing, aromatic, and perfectly suited for pairing with the light, malty base of a blonde ale — making lychee an ideal fruit for a beer that’s both familiar and intriguing.
Why We Made It?
At Dokkaebier, we’re all about crafting beers that celebrate culture and creativity. Lychee Blonde was born from our desire to bring an iconic Asian fruit into the world of modern craft beer — approachable yet distinctive. We wanted to brew something that’s easy to enjoy, pairs beautifully with food, and captures the joyful, sun-soaked essence of lychee.
Originally part of our Experimental Batch #37, Lychee Blonde quickly became a crowd favorite at tastings and festivals for its smooth, juicy character and refreshing drinkability.
Ingredients That Make It Shine
Our Lychee Blonde is built on a foundation of quality ingredients that highlight the fruit’s natural character:
Real Lychee Fruit – The star of the show, lychee adds its signature sweetness and perfume-like aroma, creating a flavor profile that’s tropical yet refined.
Pale Malts – Provide a soft, biscuity base that lets the lychee notes shine while keeping the beer crisp and balanced.
Floral Hops – Subtle hop additions enhance the aroma and lend a touch of citrus and spice to complement the fruit.
Together, these ingredients deliver a light, refreshing beer with delicate layers of fruit and floral complexity.
What To Expect From Lychee Blonde
Pour Lychee Blonde into a glass and watch its golden hue shimmer beneath a foamy white head. The aroma is bright and fruity — like freshly peeled lychee with hints of honeysuckle and citrus.
Each sip opens with a soft lychee sweetness that transitions into gentle floral tones before finishing clean and dry. It’s a beer that feels like sunshine — easygoing, elegant, and just the right amount of sweet.
An Experimental Beer Turned Fan Favorite
Like many of our beers, Lychee Blonde began as an experiment — a small-batch trial exploring how real lychee could harmonize with a blonde ale base. The response was immediate: fans loved its tropical flavor and crisp drinkability. What started as Batch #37 evolved into one of our most beloved brews, embodying the spirit of discovery and creativity that defines Dokkaebier.
