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.

Otje (675) - Veendam, NETHERLANDS - AUG 31, 2007
Fruity and spicy aromas, very spicy(coriander that is), sweet and sourrish taste. Fruity finish, bit sticky mouthfeel. Alltogether this one is allright. Reminds me a lot of a belgian witbier.

Bottle sampled. Pours amber with a small off-white head. Aroma of citrus, spices, and fruit. The flavor is sweet, fruit, citrus, spices, and has no traces of hops, or carbonation.

Bottle from Riversbend: Pours a dirty gold color with a small white head. Smell is thick with lemon and some spice. Smells pretty sweet. Taste is a little sweeter than the smell leads on. I taste a bit of a butter bread taste with just a hint of lemon. This is easy to drink in the summer.

patrick767 (2772) - fort wayne, Indiana, USA - JUN 26, 2007
bottle - Pours murky orange with numerous dark floaters that sink after awhile. It has a very herbal aroma and flavor and tastes somewhat sweet. I really can’t place the herbs, but they certainly give it a unique flavor. It reminds me of the heather ale that I tried awhile back. The carbonation is low and the body seems a little watery. It has a light, dry finish. It’s an okay quaff, but I definitely wouldn’t pay $6 for a bottle again.

Bottle from Party Town. Poured a hazy golden color with a small white head that modtly lasted with good lacing. Good aroma of spice and yeasty fruit. Medium body with smooth texture. Good fruity sour & sweet flavor with a spicy complex finish of moderate duration. Interesting complex good brew.
