Undoubtedly one of the best newcomers this year!
Gouden Carolus Hopsinjoor has become an 8.0 vol% hoppy beer !
Gouden Carolus Hopsinjoor completes the taste pallet of the gamma Carolus-beers.
Name: "Hopsinjoor" is a wordplay to for one thing the several hops which were used,
and on the other hand the typical character of Mechelen of Gouden Carolus:
the figure "opsinjoor" is intertwined with the history of Mechelen
(see: www.opsinjoorke.be/Opsinjoorke/opsinjoor.htm).
Kind of hops: 4 types of hops are used: Golding, Spalt, Hallertau and Saaz.
These hops were fractioned at several times in the cooking process
in order to keep a maximum of aroma.
Regarding to taste we can say that the beer has a gentle, but nevertheless
bitter aftertaste. Gold-yellow colour. Hoppy aroma.
