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.

bu11zeye (10164) - Frisco (Dallas), Texas, USA - MAY 18, 2005
(Bottle) Pours a lightly cloudy orange body with a medium white head. Aroma of mustiness, Zanzibarian spice farm, and some hints of orange peel. Flavor of oats, various herbs, and some fruit. Unique!

harrisoni (10070) - Ashford, Kent, ENGLAND - JUL 24, 2005
Cask at Kent BF. Golden opaque beer iwth bubblegum and some sweetish fruit. Followed by long good finish. I would not be able to distinguish this from a wheat beer, but i liked it

TBone (9433) - Pori, FINLAND - OCT 22, 2006
Bottled 30cl (BB 07/2007). Pale hazy yellow-orange color, small white head. Aroma of herbs and diacetyl-butterscotch. Light lemonade palate. Herbal, light spicey flavor, sweetish fruity notes (apple, lemon). Quite witbier-like. Gruit is more like vanity here.

argo0 (9265) - Washington DC, USA - JAN 29, 2005
(12oz bottle) Particulate-filled murky amber body topped by quickly dissipating medium off-white head. Aroma is mild sweet, cardemom, light orange peel, light herbal, pepper. Taste is medium sweet, cardemom, orange, honey, light herbal. No bitterness evident. Watery light body. Not bad, but then again, it has nothing that would make me inclined to drink it again.

yngwie (9205) - Kristiansand, NORWAY - NOV 8, 2007
Bottle, shared by yespr. Clear, golden body, with a small, off-white head. Fruity nose with tea and spices. The flavor starts rather fruity, and some tea-like spicyness comes after a while. As expected, there’s not much bitterness. Medium body. I’m having hard times believing it’s brewed as a traditional gruit beer, it’s too good for that, but it’s still not good enough to be more than nice and interesting. (071005)

faroeviking (8805) - HAITI - DEC 24, 2007
Bottle. Pours a cloudy yellow colour with a medium well lasting white head leaving a good lacing. Aroma has some sweetness with yeast, coriander, some lemon and some kind of parfume. Rather thin mouthfeel. The flavour has yeast, and coriander with some lemon, bit of sweetness, herbs and soap.

thewolf (8669) - Kolding, DENMARK - SEP 10, 2007
Bottle @ OL i Aarhus. Pours a light - almost neon - yellow. A small white head. Aroma is youghurt, sweetness and a little ’wet dog’. Quite low carbonation - perhaps too low for the flavours. Which are too limited, making the beer feel watery. Some sweetness, maltyness and a slight dose of hops.

Maria (8589) - Thisted, DENMARK - MAR 2, 2008
Straw colored, hazy with a small, dense and creamy head. The aroma has sweetness, notes of coriander and wheat. The flavour has sweetness, notes of newly harvested grain, coriander, spices and no bitterness. Nice and completely uncomplicated.

Christian (8561) - Odense, DENMARK - FEB 13, 2009
Cloudy yellow with floaters. Lasting white head. Aroma of herbs and spices with a touch of cookie. Flavour is very wit-like. Refreshing with a bready note and some herbs. In the aftertaste I can sense some gale for sure.
