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.

YourDarkLord (1800) - Urbana, Illinois, USA - FEB 25, 2004

Yuck! I liked the Jopen Koyt but didn't like this at all. Misty amber with foamy white head. Nose and taste were potent and unpleasant.

SubstanceT (1092) - Saint Louis, Missouri, USA - FEB 23, 2004

Darker golden colour with good amounts of carbonation. Yeasty and copperish in the nose. Lots of orange peel in the taste. Tingly body. Not that bad ovearall but I just cant see drinking this to easily.

aracauna (2855) - Georgia, USA - FEB 23, 2004

This was pale, pale cloudy yellow like a Hoegaarden and it had a lot of similar qualities. It's extremely light and I seemed to pick up coriander and probably some orange, but there was some vague herbally aromas and flavors that I couldn't pick up well enough to describe that made this different than just another wit. Interesting, but not amazing.

harlequinn (2744) - Tacoma, Washington, USA - FEB 22, 2004

This was unique, and one I am not sure how to rate. A witbier was how it come across to me. Lots of herbal notes, with dark fruity grapes and lemons. Slightly tart and sour, and not highly enjoyable, but certainly drinkable and worth trying.

Volgon (2761) - Manchester, New Hampshire, USA - JAN 30, 2004

Cloudy orange with a thin white head. Lemon with a sweet spicy aroma, thin bodied, starts really sweet and ends less sweet and dry. An interesting beer, but I do like hops in my beer.

fraternie (777) - Chicago, Illinois, USA - JAN 25, 2004

Cloudy golden body. Spicy, sour, wheaty aroma. Fruity, lemon malt. Lightly sour finish. Finishes outa bit thin- smooth, lightly carbonated. Notes of sourness lead to an enjoyable, although not terribly complex brew.

savitska (163) - Smyrna, Georgia, USA - DEC 30, 2003

Pours almost white, then settles to a cloudy yellow with a nice, white head. Very similar in appearance to Wit beers and very cloudy. Had the scent of fresh cut lemons and bananas. A wonderful taste of malt with a gingery sweet finish and some notes of peppery spiciness. A very complex beer.
