Hertog Jan Karakter is a true Dutch ale, made from the special Hertog Jan malts. Hertog Jan malts, a carefully selected prestige malt, consists of four different malts. This gives the beer a fruity taste with adult hits of bitter. Besides this, Hertog Jan Karakter has the full and warm color of copper.

Bottle from an Albert Heijn in Lekkerkerk, The Netherlands (thanks to Anke). Pours clear amber with a lasting, foamy, off-white head. The aroma contains malt, (salted) caramel, nuts, hops and dark fruits. It tastes light to medium sweet and light bitter with a malty, bit dry finish. Medium/light body, slick texture, fizzy carbonation. Effectively lacking more character, depth and balance, without becoming bad.

Flesje gekregen van Heidie. Amberkleurig, helder bier met matig schuim. Aroma van drop en zoethout. Smaak is een beetje bitter en een beetje zoet. Hoppige bitterheid en kruiden blijven even hangen.
