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.

The aroma is sour like vinegar with honey, rotting fruit, and herbs/spices. The appearance is orange gold with little carbonation. The flavor is like the aroma and very acrid and sour. The palate is watery and oily. Yuck! This has to be one of the worst beers (excluding malt liquor) I have had in awhile and that’s saying a lot.

this is an interesting ale. Definitely not what i was expecting. It is slightly fruity, with a very smooth ride down the throat. it was easy to drink and enjoyable. It had a nice appearance, but little head on the pour. A beer worth trying.

BBB63 (4939) - La Porte, Indiana, USA - MAR 12, 2008
Bottle, twangy and spiicy with a skunky wet grain character. Just not very good.

FatPhil (5970) - Tallinn, ESTONIA - MAR 8, 2008
250ml bottle (Bierkoning, Amsterdam)
Tea aroma, wheaty too. Pale cloudy yellow, thin head. Tea continues in a tanniny taste. Drying, wheaty and spicy coriander. Dry finish. Pretty OK, but as I’m unaccustomed to the herbs it didn’t quite press the ’beer’ button.

Maria (7805) - Thisted, DENMARK - MAR 2, 2008
Straw colored, hazy with a small, dense and creamy head. The aroma has sweetness, notes of coriander and wheat. The flavour has sweetness, notes of newly harvested grain, coriander, spices and no bitterness. Nice and completely uncomplicated.
