Hapkin is a strong blond top-fermented beer that is refermented in the bottle. The floral touch of Saazhop and the spicy hop variety Monroe determine this rich blond beer. Originally from Louwaege Brewery (Kortemark), brewed from 2001 to 2007 at Brasserie Union (Jumet), then at Alken-Maes (Alken).
The name refers to Count Baudouin VII of Flanders (1093-1119), nicknamed “Hapkin” or “with the ax”. 900 years ago he is said to have commissioned the monks of Ten Duinen Abbey (near Koksijde) to brew a strong blond beer that would make him and his men invincible.

Аромат хороший и выдержанный в стиле золотого Бельгийского эля. Немного цветочных ноток, много солода пшеничного в целом, общая небольшая сладость с нотками меда. Цвет полумутный, но не сильно, пенка душистая и пышная, как и должно быть. Вкус такой же выверенный и стабильный. Снова пшеница, солод одним словом. Немного пряностей, сладость от фруктов типо банана, при глотке снова пшеница и мед с нотами цветов. В целом лучше чем ожидал если честно.

Bottle 0,33ltr: Hazy blonde colored brew with an sweet bitter taste with an slightly dry ending, hints of fruitiness. On the "Duvel" scale, it lacks the sharpness buts Hapkin isn’t very bad compare to Duvel.

Õlle on selline jook, et iga uus kord kui klaasi või pudeli suule tõstad, siis leiad midagi uut, sõltuvalt tuhandest-miljonist pisiasjast, mis hetke olukorda mõjutavad. Seega piirdun iga õlle juures selle tekstiga.

I believe this 33 cl bottle came from De Bierkoning on our tour through the Netherlands and Belgium late last summer. This evening I have my globe glass in place, most used one in the small collection. The pour shows a clear, shiny gold body with a significant head of off-white foam and plenty of carbonation. The beer is strongly fragrant, I get a lot of yellow fruit, yeast, grain and a bare touch of citrus. A drink now and I have to say that this is an enjoyable brew. Dried peaches, white bread, apricots, malt, some hops bitterness and meadow. Nice.
