Hapkin

Brewed by Brasserie Union (Alken-Maes / Heineken)
Style: Belgian Strong Ale
Jumet, Belgium

A hazy light orange beer with an OK white head. The aroma is sweet spicy with dominant notes of coriander. The flavor is sweet matly - too sweet for my liking - with notes of spice most dominant is coriander. It is very carbonated. The sweetness from the high alcohol content is not hidden very well in this beer.

(Bottle 25 cl) Golden, very hazy with lots of floating yeast in the bottle. Very sophisticated - almost perfumy - spices. Looks innocent but has loads of alcohol. A nice surprise. 101094
