Description
In 1999 the brewery was established in the ''Commanderie van St. Jan'' in Nijmegen. This 12th century monastery has since been our production location and also the place where beer has been drunk most for years. In Brouwerscafé De Hemel, the 12 taps are always filled with different brewes from Hemel. Beer production takes place in the cellars of the Commanderie.

Golden with little head. Aroma is lots of peppermint (which I hate), anis (which I also dont like) slight sweet bready malt, rice. Taste is ugly peppermint, with some hop bitterness. Heavy and not so drinkable. I hate it.
