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.

Hazy yellowish orange, small creamy head. Aroma is fruity and gruity with some spice. Flavour is wheaty, malty, caramel, some wit notes (mostly lemon), and a weird sidenote.

MoritzF (7137) - Bochum, GERMANY - MAR 16, 2010
(bottle, 30cl) Cloudy yellow colour with a blond medium-sized foamy head. Yeasty and slightly sour wheaty aroma with notes of citrus and moderate spicy notes. Sweet and slightly sour flavour, light to medium bodied with a rather soft and slick carbonation for a Wheat. Citric wheaty and yeasty taste with a tolerable note of spices; moderately dry, slightly salty and spicy finish with a light tartness. Pretty disappointing Gruit beer, works as an average Witbier. 16.III.10

Allen (2394) - SWITZERLAND - MAR 16, 2010
Bottled 30cl. Ordered from www.bierzwerg.de. Lactic pale yellow with a nice head. Heavy on the spices, especially on the nutmeg. Absolutely nutmeg and bog myrtle dominated. Marmite and paté sneaking in. Dissapointing.
