Brewery:Jopen (Haarlem)
Name: Koyt
Style: Heavy gruel beer (gruit)
Gruitbeer has a medieval herbal
mixture in which ritually plucked
gale is very decisive.
ABV: 8,5%
Colour: reddish-brown
Spicy tasting
According to a medieval myth, gale can be hallucinogenic and to avoid
this gale should be picked by naked witches at full moon.
The spicy taste is very complex and soft. Jopen Koyt is a replica of a
city beer from Haarlem and is brewed according to the brewer's label
(prescribed city recipe) from 1407. Dangerously tasty.

Notas do Editor
Indian Pale Ale
Extra veel hop toegevoegd, zodat het langer houdbaar is voor de bootreis van Engeland naar India.
Amerika.
Rice has almost no proteins, so you can change the ratio between starches (70-90%) and proteins
-> more drinkable, less body, dry taste
Reinheitsgebot in 1516, Duke Wilhelm IV
Only use of barley (gerst), hop and water. (yeast was not yet discovered).
Use of other (dangerous) herbs and fruits is prohibited
Duke could control price of beer and make sure there was enough barley left for bread.
Brewery within the walls of a trappist abbey
The brewing needs to be done or under the supervision of monks
The profit is for own livelihood and charity
1842 uitgevonden door Pilsner Urquell (Plzen, Czech Republic)
For pilsner you need pale mout and fermentation and lagering at low temperatures
The invention of the refrigarator 1880 very important.
Other inventions: thermometer, saccharometer (measuring sugar in liquid), pasteurize (verhitten tot 80 graden)
Oxygen -> bacteria transform into acid
Light:
Temparature
Blik is beter -> opmars van blik
In standard glass: wine and beer have equal amount of calories (115 kcal beer, 123 kcal red wine).
Wine people have more healthy lifestyle (more vegetables and more sports).
Without nose, you can’t taste beer. Tasting is in the throat as wellsmaken: sweet, salt, sour, bitter, umami, mondgevoel: temperature, texture, carbonic, sticky taste, wry/sour taste, spicyness(geen smaak, maar mondgevoel!)Low temperature: less taste -> Heineken Ice Cold
Describe what you taste like a scientist. Emotional: price, brand, environmentBest environment: No smell, noise. Enough light and ventilationGlass: all glasses are marketing!!! You can’t compare beers in different glasses. Need one standard.
Ingredients: source of starch (zetmeel) -> usually grain, water, herbs (hop mostly). Yeast is living organism, so not an ingredientColor: EBC = European Brewery Convention (volgende slide)
