Beer: Ongekend HJA15/1-3
Brewery: Hertog Jan
Country: The Netherlands
Style: ???
ABV: ???
Noticed the ?question? marks did you? No i didn't make a mistake, its exactly that what makes this beer so interesting.
Well not exactly one specific beer, but three!
Hertog Jan Ongekend (unprecedented) represents a three beer limited edition range from the Hertog Jan brewery. What makes these beers so special is not the fact that they are limited edition, well maybe a little, but the fact that they are brewed with the intention of discovering yourself whats inside. Each edition is a limited, one batch brew.
This also means that there is no label or indicator to give away the contents, the bottle itself is also pitch black (so no peeping).
Well there is one hint actually.
When you buy the bottle, a small booklet is attached to it. After tasting, and forming your own opinion, you can open this booklet and read the comments of the brewer.
I was lucky enough to try out the HJA15/1 recently at a beer festival, it was the same day that the HJA15/2 was released (so right on time). Loved the taste, I haven't yet read the brewers notes, but the taste was a bit like a dunkelweizen/strong dark ale mix (definite notes of banana)! Im also really looking forward to the next three editions, but as supplies are limited i will really need to keep an eye out.
I also recommend you to do the same, if you have the opportunity to try one (or all) of these creative brews!
Cheers!
