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, pale blond appearance. Very sharp, zesty aroma with citrus and coriander notes. Feels a little on the thin side. Is very refreshing and tangy though and would make a great summer session beer.

Bottle. Golden yellow beer with a strongish head. The aroma is lightly dry and the flavour is medium fruity, yeasty and quite sweet. Overall a reasonable beer.

Pours clear amber into a tumbler. White sickly bubbles recede to skim rim. Peach and strawberry aromas. Tingly and fruity (peaches, pears and apples) from front to back. Mildly lactic sour finish. A little cider-like.

Lubiere (6707) - Ottawa, Ontario, CANADA - OCT 26, 2008
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.
