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.

Keg at the Cafe de Paris in Calais. Golden with a carbonation and a frothy head. It's a strong tasting brew but the regional styling makes this instantly a recognisable Belgian Pale with hints of banana in both aroma and taste.

Bottle from Drinks Vanuxeem, Ploegsteert, Belgium. Pours a hazy golden colour with a large thick throthy white head. Aromas of floral, peppery spice and yellow fruits. Taste is again floral and fruity with more peppery spice on a very slightly bitter and sweet finish. Medium body, gentle carbonation and fairly smooth mouthfeel. Nice elegant tasting beer. Solid.
