Epicée et pleine de caractère, la Joup est la grande soeur de la Brice. Elle s’en
différencie notamment par un l’arôme de caramel qui lui donne un goût plus
rond. Sa couleur rouge-brun profond, sa mousse crémeuse fine et abondante,
et son taux d’alcool font d’elle une véritable spéciale belge.

5.8/10 Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 4 Overall 6
An orange beer with a slight hazy under a thin beige head. The aroma is sweet malty with primary notes of caramel, and so is the flavor, but the flavor also incorporates a light spicyness - I pick up peber. The end is dry, and the body surprisingly thin.

Bottled (BB MJ/2007)
Hazy nut brown color, small off-white head, some lace. Paperbag, chocolate, pepper and spelt in the aroma. Carbonated mouthfeel. Licorice, malty, a bit peppery and sweet, dries out in the finish. Slightly salty aftertaste with lingering peppery notes. Reasonably complex and interesting, but not earth-shaking.

Dark brown color. Very nice aroma, malty and fruity, hops. Balanced mouthfeel, with some malt, caramel, candi sugar, hops and light fruitness. Interesting and pleasant.

Draught. Hint of fruit and spices in aroma. Unclear brown colour, small head. Malty, spicy flavour with a little sourness/astringency. Not too interesting.

Chestnut brown, red shine; off-white, small head. Quite oppressive, "double" nose; bread, nutty, alcohol and sweet. Sweet taste, bread again, a bit of banana and maybe some liquorice. Like a lesser, sweeter version of Westmalle dubbel, to even worse, Leffe-like. Well bodied, but much less attenuated than the Brice; slick MF. I felt exhilarated by the Brice. This Joup, however, is nowhere in the league - rather like the big commercial brunes.
