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.

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.

nearbeer (2572) - Knoxville, Tennessee, USA - DEC 17, 2008
12 oz. Golden-orange with very little foam. Aroma is spicy sour berries with a touch of cellar funk and brown sugar. Flavor is tart berries and sour apple cider with some leather funk and a twist of lemon juice. Some faint oak on the finish. Light body is watery, acidic tingly and finishes dryish. Not a bad refresher and a nice alternative to a Wit or a fruit beer.
