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.

Martinus (659) - 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.
