“Hopsinjoor” derived from “Opsinjoor”, the typical character of Mechelen and also because of the use of 5 different kinds of hops. These hops are fractioned at a different time during the cooking process in order to conserve a maximum of aroma.

Orange colour, rocky head that does not stay long, fair lacing. Aroma is pine, floral, mango. Light long bitterness. Light body, lively carbonation. Quite ok.

Bottle at home. To be completely fair I went for this cause I thought that at some point it was a belgian IPA and TOP50 at that. Anyway. It really doesn't drink like a belgian IPA, the hop aroma is subdued, and so is the yeast character. Somehow it tastes like a macro IPA: bitter and has some hops to show, but by far not sophisticated enough. Weird mix between a belgian strong and belgian IPA, on the floor between two chairs in many ways.

Belgian ipa meets belgian strong ale! Big big notes of tripocal fruits and yeast. Lots of sweetness, some candi sugar, and a great bitter sharp herbal grassy punch from the copious amounts of hops. Just a great summer patio beer.

Pours a hazy golden/orange with a massive white head. Aroma of sweet malts, yeast, citrus fruits, spices, hops. Reminds me of a Tripel, but more hoppy.

Аромат приятный, цветочный,яркий, очень много солода и кажется на оттенке присутствует немного кориандра. Цвет мутный и туманно-желтый.Пена белоснежная. На вкус пиво дико напоминает витбир. Такой же оттенок специй и легкого солода. Разве что больше чувствуется европейский хмель. Но единственное что точно выдает это пиво за хороший эль это его крепкое тело. Плюс, в послевкусие ощущается хорошая хмелевая горчинка. В целом хороший но нетипичный Бельгийский Эль.

Bottle at ZBF, Sint-Niklaas, Belgium: Hazy yellow colourer brew with a fruity taste, formost banana and the name of the beer says Hopsinjoor, but the taste is not hoppy.
