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.

Ungstrup (24024) - Oamaru, NEW ZEALAND - MAY 20, 2004
A murky orange beer with a dense small disappearing head. The aroma is of yeast, oranges, heather, and very spicy. The flavor is of heather, flowers, citrus, wheat, and acidiness. It has a thin body. Quite an interesting beer.

30 cL bottle. Pours pale and hazy yellow with a lacing white head. Aroma has a minor but still distinct spice note. Flavour is slight oat flavoured, mellowish/soft in flavour and mouthfeel. Ends slight sweet yet still somewhat oatish. Nice and clearly differently herbal and spiced flavoured.

oh6gdx (16084) - Vasa, FINLAND - JAN 7, 2007
Bottled. Orange golden colour, small white head. Aroma is strong fruit, earth and ashes in aroma. Some herbs and spices also noteable. Flavour is glueish fruits along with spices and herbs. A very different beer, surprising flavours. Refreshing and interesting, but flavourwise I didn’t like it too much.

omhper (15965) - Stockholm, SWEDEN - FEB 1, 2007
UPDATED: FEB 21, 2007 Bottled at Monk’s Café, Stockholm. Hazy golden, small head. Lemony vegetable aroma. Sweet and perfumy with light body and clean mouthfeel and dry finish. With an interesting and unusal spicyness, but also with an unpleasant touch of boiled vegetables and a too clean mouthfeel.

Bottle. Nice, spicy aroma, slightly peppery. Slightly cloudy golden colour, small white head. OK mouthfeel, but watery flavour. The flavour has a subtle spiciness to it, and the aftertaste is teaish.
