COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Until spring 2009 brewed by Huyghe for Jopen. Until 2006 brewed by Van Steenberge. Brewed with three grains: barley, oats and wheat, as requested in mediaeval Haarlem, fresh-bitterish hops and spicey coriander. Jopen Lentebier is unfiltered and gets a secondary fermentation in the bottle. A darker blonde beer with a fruity aroma and a fresh, fullbodied taste.

JoeinEscazú (1120) - San Jose, COSTA RICA - MAY 19, 2008
Sweetish blonde with character but lacks balance. Drunk on draft at the Wildeman. Pours pale gold with decent white head, receding. Sweetish, lightly hoppy nose, fruity and floral. Mildly sweet with cidery-peachy notes, going into a moderate bitterness with a touch of alcohol showing through. Meh.

MIBRomeo (2105) - Wisconsin, USA - MAY 18, 2008
light golden pour big white head thick lace. Belgian yeast and bread sweet candies, very nice blonde style. Nice easy palate. Good flavor, bread is light, hints of grain finishes with sweet sugars touch of grass in the finish. Suggests a mild hopping, nice and easy to drink, would make a good session ale if not for the 7%.

Bullit (3198) - Burgos, SPAIN - MAY 9, 2008
Clear golden colour, big white head. Aroma has a lot of coriander, along with some yeast and hops. Flavour is yeasty and fruity. Spices are noticable as well, coriander is overpowering it. Refreshing, average.

thewolf (8245) - Kolding, DENMARK - MAY 6, 2008
Bottle @ YNWA, Kolding.
Pours golden with few, but rather large floaties. A big, creamy off-white head. Aroma is light, some fruity estery yeast notes, quite sweet with a slight raspberry tone. High carbonation, but still rather oily (from the high ABV). Sweet flavour, quite vinious, very thick malty and with a good deal of yeasty flavours. A bit too much alcohol for its own good, otherwise nice.

Ober (2125) - Bommelerwaard, NETHERLANDS - APR 22, 2008
UPDATED: JUN 24, 2008 A hazy golden colored beer, with a nice white foamy head. An aroma of citrus fruits, malty sweet and a little spicey. The taste is refreshing, sweet and a little sour in the back, maybe some aniseed. At the end it gives you a warm feeling in your throat. A good Spring Bock beer.

TaxiDriver (1372) - Stadland, GERMANY - MAR 26, 2008
Bottle. Very spicy (coriander), very yeasty, citrus and light sour. Average white creamy head, long lasting. Cloudy orange-red body, small particles. Light acidic flavor, short duration. Creamy texture, rather light body, soft carbonation. Refreshing one!
