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.

A lightly hazed blonde ale with a lacing white head. A plesant fruity aroma of ginger, cranberries and honey, like a fruit cake. In mouth, a dissapointing ale, with sweetish malt and light lactic points, a bit of fruity esters but I cant taste the other spices from the aroma. Bought at the Cracked Kettle, and tasted in Nov. 2006.

33cl bottle from Knightly Spirits (Orlando, FL). Pours a dark golden color with a very thin off-white head. Little retention with minimal lacing. Aroma is sweet and fruity with notes of apple cider, vinegar, spice, and some malt. Flavor is very spicy and tangy with notes of citrus, apple cider, vinegar, some herbs. Generally light bodied with a tangy somewhat tart finish.

Bottle from a gift pack. Hazy yellow amber colour, white head. Aroma of spices, citrus, some yeast and coriander. Flavour is sweet, citrus, wheat and unusual spices/herbs. At first it tastes like a witbier, but after a few sips the unusual herb flavours come out and becomes cloying. Definitely something else, but not too good.

Bottle, 330ml at Cafe t’Kanon, Ghent. Amber to brown, clouded, with white head. Powerful boiled cabbage aroma the beer is heavy sweet and vegetal, not much in the way of character apart from being unusual.

Not a good beer, though the aroma is deacent. The taste disappoint and the after taste is dead boring. Fresh but not much more...
