Jopen Meesterstuk 2017 – Jopen Beer review

Nick Riethoven — Tue, 01 Sep 2020 16:30:54 +0000

Meesterstuk 2017 is, as the name implies, a masterpiece (meesterstuk). The beer is brewed at brewery Jopen in Haarlem. This beer has matured in Bowmore barrels for 365 days and therefore it has a strong special flavour of Scotch whisky.
Moreover, this beer is brewed with fresh ginger, Celtic sea salt and cocoa. Due to these unique ingredients, they created a beautiful balance between sweet and salty and soft and spicy.

Since we really love whiskey, this was absolutely an excellent beer to drink! It has quite a smokey whiskey flavour and its colour is pitch black. Furthermore, the beer has an alcoholpercentage of 12,5% and it has a very strong smell of whiskey.
Unfortunately the beer was not very foamy but this was not a big deal to us since it still tasted amazing.

We were happily surprised by the wonderful taste of the Meesterstuk 2017 and we would absolutely like to buy this one again. Therefore we rate this beer a 4,8/5

Let There Be Light – Jopen beer review

Nick Riethoven — Tue, 11 Aug 2020 16:00:00 +0000

Let There Be Light stands for the longing for warm and sunny days after the cold winter months. This beer from brewery Jopen is a fresh and soft blond beer with a low alcohol percentage of 3,3%. Perfect for spring and summer.

The beer has many fruit notes such as tropical fruit, grapefruit and citrus from the American hop varieties. The beer is quite cloudy and is has a soft taste profile as well. We were happy to taste this beer, but it wasn’t really our favourite beer from this brewery. To us, it tasted a bit watery and we didn’t tasted the fruit notes in this beer that much. It smelled really nice though but we wouldn’t drink this beer again. Therefore, we rate this beer a 2/5.
What kind of snack do you eat accompanied with your beer?

Jopen – Ex-Girlfriend BA Ruby Port & Jamaican Rum – beer review

Nick Riethoven — Tue, 30 Jun 2020 16:30:00 +0000

This beer is brewed as cold as your ex-girlfriend’s heart. So stop whining and crawl out of the dark corner of your room. This beer will warm your heart.

This limited edition beer is aged on Ruby Port and Jamaican rum barrels. Therefore, the beer has aromas of red fruit and wood. These aromas are followed by warm notes of chocolate, red fruit, nuts and spiciness from the rum.

The beer has quite a high alcoholpercentage of 11,3%. Therefore, it is a relatively strong beer to drink. We absolutely enjoyed the smooth, but full taste of this beer.
The flavour of Port and Rum are also reflected very well in this beer. Therefore we rate this beer a 4/5.
