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.

Strong burnt hop aroma with malt. Cloudy amber colour with poor head and lacing. Sharp bitter burnt malt hop flavour. Fizzy palate.

Bottle from a gift pack. Hazy yellow amber colour, white head. Aroma of spices, citrus, some yeast and coriander. Flavour is sweet, citrus, wheat and unusual spices/herbs. At first it tastes like a witbier, but after a few sips the unusual herb flavours come out and becomes cloying. Definitely something else, but not too good.

Bottle, 330ml at Cafe t’Kanon, Ghent. Amber to brown, clouded, with white head. Powerful boiled cabbage aroma the beer is heavy sweet and vegetal, not much in the way of character apart from being unusual.

Not a good beer, though the aroma is deacent. The taste disappoint and the after taste is dead boring. Fresh but not much more...
