Jopen – Is That Spelt Ryeght – Beer review

Nick Riethoven — Tue, 27 Oct 2020 16:00:00 +0000

Is That Spelt Ryeght is already our last barrel aged beer from our beer box from brewery Jopen. This Porter has matured for more than 400 days in Scottish Glenburgie & Auchroisk whiskey barrels and it has an alcoholpercentage of 11%. Moreover, it is brewed with English hops which are 50% spelt- and 50% rye malt.

Is That Spelt Ryeght has aromas from raisins and wood and it definitely has a caramelly taste. Moreover, the colour of this beer is brown/black and it has a smooth whiskey flavour. Despite its high alcoholpercentage, it is a really easy beer to drink. We especially tasted caramel and whiskey in this beer and it tasted rather sweet than bitter.
It was a delicious beer to drink and therefore we rate this beer a 4/5.

Nick Riethoven — Tue, 13 Oct 2020 16:30:00 +0000

Sin & Remorse is another beautiful beer that we received in the beerbox from brewery Jopen. This beer has been brewed in collaboration with brewery De Molen and it has matured for 500 days on Ledaig and Isle of Arran whisey barrels.

The Sin & Remorse is a really dark beer with aromas of coffee, whiskey, wood and a hint of peat. It also has an alcoholpercentage of 10,5% and we especially tasted and smelled the whiskey in this beer. We were absolutely happily surprised by the taste of this beer. It tasted sweet, but also quite bitter and it is like an explosion of all different kinds of flavours in your mouth when you drink it. Moreover, we are a big fan of whiskey and you definitely smelled and tasted this in the beer. It was bsolutely an outstanding beer!
Therefore, we rate this beer a 4,8/5.

Wheat Weet Mag Het Zeggen – Jopen- Beer review

Nick Riethoven — Tue, 21 Jul 2020 16:30:00 +0000

Imagine an English garden full of lush borders of colourful flowers. The soothing fragrant of daisies and sage. Actually the perfect time for an English Wheat Wine right?

Wheat Weet Mag Het Zeggen from the dutch brewery Jopen is an English Wheat Wine brewed with wheat, sage and daisies. It is quite a powerful beer with a rich flavour due to the use of wheat malt. Also, the beer is slightly bitter with a floral aroma and a minty aftertaste.

The beer has an alcoholpercentage of 11% and it is therefore quite a strong beer. This limited edition beer spent two months in Monbazillac, sweet white wine, barrels. This has added notes of grape to the taste pallet.

We enjoyed this beer but unfortunately it almost had no foam. This was a bit of a pity to us. Also the taste of white wine was, to our opinion, to much represented in the beer. Therefore we rate this beer a 3,5/5.

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 flavour of Port and Rum are also reflected very well in this beer. Therefore we rate this beer a 4/5.

Jopen Meesterstuk 2019 – Beer Review

Nick Riethoven — Tue, 09 Jun 2020 17:30:59 +0000

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
