Jopen Koyt is brewed according to the Haarlem Brouwerskeur from 1407 (city recipe). This beer is brewed with gruit, a medieval spice blend with ritual-picked gale. According to a myth, gale can be hallucinating, to avoid this, gale must be picked by naked witches at full moon. You bought the ingredient gruit from the gruit gentleman (later corrupted to the Gruijter = grocer). Picked gale is decisive in the herbal mixture of Jopen Koyt.
This reddish-brown beer has a strong spicy (menthol) aroma and a mildly sweet taste. The dark malt provides caramel tones. The spicy aspect appears again in the aftertaste.

0.3 l bottle from Drankenservice Francoise, bottled in january 2015. Clear, deep red with a thin, frothy, slowly diminishing, tan head. Fruity-malty aroma of raisins, dark cherries, redcurrant, caramel and a bit of alcohol. Sweetish, fruity-malty aroma of raisins, dark cherries, redcurrant and caramel, followed by a short, just slightly bitter finish. Medium body, slightly creamy mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Pleasant, without any highlights.

Tap at Jopenkerk. Spicy gruit nose, caramel, chocolate, some orange. Cloudy orange-brown, pretty low tan head, fine. Rich and malty, chocolate and caramel, Belgian yeast, spicy. Interesting, sweet, licorice, creamy and heavy. Bit too sweet with nothing really to cut it. Interesting, but 100 ml is enough.

Flasche (30 cl) von Hopfen & Malz, Berlin-Wedding, etwa ein halbes Jahr im heimischen Keller gelagert. - Rotbraun, gut trüb. - In der Nase fülliges dunkles Malz, Karamel, etwas Brombeere, Noten von Lakritz und Zahnkrem. - Antrunk breit dunkelmalzig und malzsüß mit einer herben, kühlen medizinischen Note, die aber gut integriert ist. Kräftiges Röstmalz, Mokka, Brotkruste. Sehr vollmundig, weiches Mundgefühl. Im Abgang nicht zu herbe Malzbittere und eine kühle Kräuternote, die aber die fehlende Hopfenbittere kaum ersetzen kann; daher etwas flach. - Na ja. Bier ohne Hopfen ist ein interessantes Experiment aber selten überzeugend.
