COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Origin: Gouden Carolus Hopsinjoor completes the taste pallet of the gamma Carolus-beers. Name: "Hopsinjoor" is a wordplay to for one thing the several hops which were used, and on the other hand the typical character of Mechelen of Gouden Carolus: the figure "opsinjoor" is intertwined with the history of Mechelen (see: www.opsinjoorke.be/Opsinjoorke/opsinjoor.htm). Kind of hops: 4 types of hops are used: Golding, Spalt, Hallertau and Saaz. These hops were fractioned at several times in the cooking process in order to keep a maximum of aroma. Regarding to taste we can say that the beer has a gentle, but nevertheless bitter aftertaste. Gold-yellow colour. Hoppy aroma. 50 IBU / 18.6 Plato

Oakes (10191) - Gibsons, - OCT 10, 2008
Beige-light tan colour. Big head. Lots of cloudiness. Fresh herbal continental hops and dusty Belgian yeast. Dry, fairly bitter flavour. Lots of herbal hoppiness and thick bready pale malts. There are a lot of beers like this, but it is a very solid concept and this one is executed well.

islay (638) - Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA - MAY 12, 2012
25.4 oz. bottle consumed on 5-11-12. Very pleasant, hoppy, perfumey, minerally, salty, sour, sharp, clean aroma features orange sherbet, lemon, chlorine, and soap scents. Pours a hazy gold/orange/brass with a large amount of uneven, foamy, nearly white head. Unique color. Produces good, thick, long-lasting lacing. Dry, bitter, astringent, sharp taste. A bit of lemon. Much less creaminess and fruitiness in the flavor than in the aroma, and that’s unfortunate. Medium body. Lively and frothy in the palate. Produces a bite in the back of the throat. Overall, Hopsinjoor is pretty good, but if it tasted more like it smelled, it could have been nearly great.

Caramel, yeast, fruit, and spice in the aroma. Flavor starts sweet and yeasty, with dark fruit and spice. Some bittering hops and more spice in the finish, with a creamy mouthfeel. Nice.
