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.

Bottle, snifter. Hazy peach-gold with small particles. Small, frothy white head. Honey, toasted wheat, pepper, cardamom, nutmeg, sweat aromas. Flavor introduces some grapefruit tartness. Lightly sweet, moderately acidic flavor. Lightly sweet, moderately acidic, lightly bitter finish. Medium body, oily texture, moderate carbonation. Interesting to be sure, just not the best drinking experience. Spices are all muted and the tartness is a bit overpowering.

Small bottle pours a very hazy dull orange color with a small head that disipated quickly. The aroma is spicy and slightly sour. The flavor is somewhat wheaty, a touch quenching, with a real fizzy palate. Overall, this one is real marginal.

In the bottle from HyVee CB. Pours a hzy gold with dark tiny particles that are heavy and electron dense. Minimal white head. The yeast cake in the bottom was dark, thick and impossible to dislodge, so the appearance might be more wit-like for others if they can coax the yeast off the bottom. Aroma is remarkable and amazing. Apple orchard aroma. Smells of a real barbershop (witch hazel and bay rum). Gooseberries. Caramel. Flavor does not match the wonderful aroma. Thin in body. Lacks a substantial palate. Tartness predominates. Orange and lemon flavors, but fails to deliver the goods promised by its flirtatious aroma.

Milky orange with fine white head. Yeast, wheat, and iced tea like aromas. Light body with a refreshing citrus finish. Vanilla, citrus, grass, light spice and faint banana flavors. Very different, though some what like a belgian wit.

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.

Bottle. Cloudy orange with a cloying, white head. Sweet and fruity aroma. Flavours are sweet and malty with an appetizing dryness towards the finish. Spicy and fruity. Lightish body. An above average thirst quencher.

Bottle, shared by yespr. Clear, golden body, with a small, off-white head. Fruity nose with tea and spices. The flavor starts rather fruity, and some tea-like spicyness comes after a while. As expected, there’s not much bitterness. Medium body. I’m having hard times believing it’s brewed as a traditional gruit beer, it’s too good for that, but it’s still not good enough to be more than nice and interesting. (071005)
