== History == Mouten Kop is the first beer of the "Hopjutters". The Hopjutters are four young brewers: Hans, Joke, Nathalie and Olivier. That same year, 2010, Mouten Kop was voted "Best Homebrewed Beer in Flanders 2010" by a jury of professional brewers.<ref>[http://www.belgische-bieren.be/blog/2010/03/mouten-kop-verkozen-als-beste-hobbybier-van-vlaanderen Best homebrewed beer in Flanders 2010]</ref><br> The name of the beer is a combination of ''houten kop'' and ''mout''. "Houten kop" literally means "wooden head"; it's an expression referring to a hangover. "Mout" is "malt", a typical ingredient of beer.
== The beer == ''Mouten Kop'' is an amber-coloured beer, style India Pale Ale, with an alcohol volume of 6% abv and a bitterness of 35 IBU. The ingredients are barley malt, water, hop, yeast and aromatic spices: coriander, cardamom and orange peel. Mouten Kop is bottle refermented beer. It is sold in bottles of 33 centilitres.
