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.

Poured an orange-metallic hue unlike most beers with a small bubbly head. Great aroma of floral herbs (bottle didn’t specify and I can’t guess) Tasted like orange peel, lemon, or other fruits. A little watery in finish, but I could session the heck out of this beer if it were cheaper.

Bottle @ OL i Aarhus. Pours a light - almost neon - yellow. A small white head. Aroma is youghurt, sweetness and a little ’wet dog’. Quite low carbonation - perhaps too low for the flavours. Which are too limited, making the beer feel watery. Some sweetness, maltyness and a slight dose of hops.

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.
