COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Brewed by Huyghe for Jopen (www.jopen.nl). Until 2006 brewed by Van Steenberge. Jopen Adriaan is made as a lighter version of a gruit beer. Gruit is a medieval herbal mixture of which sweet gale is the most characteristic. Brewers used this gruit before hops were introduced. The beer contains 5% alcohol and is also brewed with herbs, but different ones than those used in Koyt. The herbs used in Adriaan contribute in the refreshing taste of Adriaan. The light taste of Adriaan can be compared with Wheat beers (Witbier) as those are made in Belgium and Holland.

Bottle at home. Hazy yellow pour, thin white head. Aroma of citrus, lime, wheat, banana and some coriander. Flavor is sweet and refreshing and also a hint of citrussy sourness. Very nice for in the hot sun.

Sorry for the german rating, but this is a lousy rating from my "newbie" time (2007-2009), and it’s not worth of being translated. I just added it for the statistics, and to complete my backlog!
Im Glas steht ein zitrusgelbes Bier mit guter Trübung und viel feinem Schaum. Der Geruch ist hefig säuerlich, mit malzbitteren Tönen. Das Bier startet hefig säuerlich, schön fruchtig im Hintergrund. Der Abgang ist angenehm süßlich. Der Verlauf wird wesentlich fruchtiger und der süße Ton nimmt ebenfalls deutlich zu. Ein Kruidenbier wird mit Kräutern vergoren, aber davon schmecke ich hier leider nichts. Trotzdem ein leckeres, süffiges Bier.

I had this one a long time ago. If I have the chance to drink it again, I’ll update this rating

Pours an unclear and yellow beer with a white head. The aroma is malt, fruit, yeast and notes of lemon. The flavor follows the nose. The palate is dry. Overall a beer below average.

Martinus (1795) - Nijmegen, NETHERLANDS - OCT 24, 2011
Very pale hazy yellow colour, bit like a watered down witbier, white head. Weird malty aroma, herbal, bit chemical, sweet. Somewhat sweet flavour, bit spicy, very thin watery body.
In my opinion a decent example that not all old beer style recipes need to be recreated.
(From 33cL bottle @ home)

Bottle at home. Pale yellow, cloudy / hazy color with a decent white head. Smell fresh, citrus and blossom. Fresh taste as well. Low body and carbo.

a drain pour. not sure if i got an old bottle or what (very good possibility). it was bland, watery and waaaay too sweet. i got a tiny bit of spice, some rose and lavender like notes, and rock candy sugars. finished thin and again sweet. ugh.
