Joehoe
A blond Sunshine Ale (5.6%) of barley, wheat, oats and hops, fruity and bitter. The name echoes the oehoe, the second-largest owl in the world: a wingspan of more than 180 cm and a call that gave it its name, (J)oehoe! Seeing one is something special; in 2014 the Dutch breeding population was put at 21 to 23 pairs. A seasonal beer, back every year. It is brewed in the kettles of Jopen in Haarlem.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Joehoe
Cold enough to sharpen the hop aroma without numbing the palate. Around 7–9°C keeps the citrus and pine vivid without losing bitterness definition.
The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.
Drink fresh — hop aroma fades fast. Best within 3 months of canning or bottling.
