Blackberry Sour Barrel Aged – Jopen beer review

Nick Riethoven — Tue, 15 Sep 2020 16:30:56 +0000

The Blackberry Sour is a beautiful limited edition beer from brewery Jopen. This beer has matured for 548 days in different Bourbon barrels and it has a wonderful purple glow.
Furthermore, blackberries were added at the end of the brewing process. We definitely smelled and tasted this while drinking this beer.

The beer is quite complex with a malty base and it has aromas of chocolate, bourbon and vanilla. The aftertaste is sweet and sour due to the addition of blackberries.
We absolutely enjoyed this beer very much since we really loved the sweet and sour flavour. It is not too sour and the taste of dark fruit is amazing. Although the beer is a Bourbon barrel aged, the bourbon was not very present in the flavour. It rather tasted like a strong red wine or port.
Therefore we rate this beer a 4/5.

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

In the Middle Ages, craftsmen produced a masterpiece (Meesterstuk) as an aptitude test. To honor the patron saint ‘Sint Maarten’ of the Haarlem brewers guild, Jopen started to brew a masterpiece every year in limited edition.

The Jopen Meesterstuk 2019 is packed with hints of chocolate, caramel and honey. Furthermore, it has an alcoholpercentage of 10%. The beer has quite a malty taste which we absolutely loved! You can also taste the grassy or floral notes when you drink it.
We had never drank a beer with these kind of flavours before, which made the flavour of this beer a true surprise to us.

We truly loved the smell of this beer and we were happily surprised by the flavour! The taste is definitely special for a limited edition beer. Therefore we rate this beer with a 4/5

Jopen – Blame It on the Monks

Nick Riethoven — Tue, 02 Jun 2020 17:30:00 +0000

This Brut IPA is brewed with Monk Beer from Schnitzelburg, Louisville. The story goes that the Benedictine monk Dom Pierre Pérignon played an important role in the development of champagne. So, let’s blame it on the Monks!

Brut is a actually a very dry champagne. Therefore, this IPA is quite dry just like a Brut, but it also has a lot of fruity hops. The beer has a very refreshing taste due to flavour of white grapes. This makes it an excellent beer to drink in the summer. The beer also has an alcoholpercentage of 7,5%.

We truly loved the refreshing taste of this beer. The unique combination of a dry but fruity beer is something we would recommend! Since we absolutely enjoyed this beer, we rate it a 4/5.

Give it a try and let us know what you think of this beer!
