Commercial Description:
In 1991, the brewery decided to revive an old custom harking back to the 14th century when there were no means of refrigeration. Beer was then traditionally brewed in early December and stored over the winter under naturally cool conditions. The first barrels were only opened in March, as the days started to become warmer. It has a fresh, springlike bouquet with dominant tones of malt and grains. It is made using a top fermentation yeast, malted barley and newly harvested Alsation hops. With 5.4% alcohol by volume, it is a pure malt beer that is highly refreshing. It has a fine white head and clear golden colour, a dominant hoppy taste with a hint of fruitiness. Best served between 5 and 6°C.

750, corked and caged, cracked at Uber. Pours a glowing medium gold with a thin, fizzy white head and continuous dozens of fast-rising bubbles. Huge dank funky barnyard nose--soggy brown leaves. Clean light fizzy body with a tidy herbal hop finish. Lovely and drinkable and refreshing.

Aroma of malt with pear, golden amber, small white head. Taste is fruit, malt, a harshness that all the Jenlain seem to have, Happy Springtime.

pours glowing gold color, ver clear with a tall white head that lasts. Aroma and taste of sweet caramel apples and light spiciness.Crisp finish and light on the palate, but the maltiness still finds a way to shine through into the finish. The combo of the rich malt flavors and floral and fruity finish made for a really enjoyable brew.

750ml Bottle: Aroma of grass, herbs, vegetables, slight skunk, and a hint of hops. Pours yellow/gold in color with a large, foamy, white head that diminished but lasted throughout. Clear. Very sparkling. Flavor is lightly sweet. Tastes of grass, pale malts, water, and hops. Light to medium body. Thin texture. Average carbonation. Grassy, pale malt finish. Really boring.

Bottle. Labeled as Printemps Biere de Mars." Shared with Josh while watching the sun set over Chokoloskee Bay. Pours bright gold with a slight haze and leaves lace that looks like a sponge painting. Goat, gamey funk. Farmhouse. Some leather, some suede. Slight ginger, then rounds out with cereal. Sweet and sour, funky, quaffable, good gamey qualities.

Aroma is slightly bitter and almost reminiscent of ammonia, somewhat skunked, not at all what I would consider a typical aroma for this style. Luckily the flavor is better, but still somewhat bland and mediocre. Very fruity, somewhat juicy maltiness, crisp hoppiness and finishes pretty clean. Decent, but overated.

Perfectly clear golden pour, with a fizzy body and a foamy, soapy head that settles quickly - very flowery, european hop aroma, with strong pils malt and honey - the flavor is like a sweeter version of a pils - crisp, lager-ish flavors, with strong herbal notes, hints of wildflowers and a medum hop profile - honey is quite apparent, and actually is a bit too dominant, making the beer a touch over-sweet - finishes like iced herbal tea - not terrible, but I probably won’t buy it again, regardless of the cheap price tag.
