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.

26 Nov 2017, lighter than the pohjala gruit I had (I think), also less delish. Bit minty, bit herbally. If grass was a fruit maybe it'd taste like this. This HAS to be good for you somehow.

Dirty brown. Mix of nuts, herbs and fresh paint in the aroma. Taste is sweet, a bit nutty, with notable cherry undertone. Finishes sweet with lingering candy and cherry. Medium. Soft carbonation. Interesting and not bad.

A red-brown beer, a head is medium and beige. Aroma is interesting and complex, hard to find out different elements, dried fruitness, apricot and prune, spicyness, ginger, herbs. Taste has riped fruitness, complex herbs and spicyness, some notes of alcohol. Only medium bodied. Complex and sophisticated beer with a nice boost of interesting herb-spice mix. I like this beer.
