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.

harrisoni (10070) - Ashford, Kent, ENGLAND - JUL 24, 2005
Cask at Kent beer festival. Good cloudy , lemony, creamy wheat beer. Served very cold, it was extremely refreshing with nice hoppy acidic lemon finish. Perhaps served too cold as I missed the coriander

TBone (9433) - Pori, FINLAND - DEC 3, 2007
Bottled (BB 02/2008)
Orange color, yeast adds floating particles and some hazyness, firm small creamy white head. Slightly lemony, but more fruity aroma with yeast and strong coriander. Medium-bodied. Fruity and citrusy Belgish trippel like flavor. Hoppy bitter and peppery. Aftertaste has bitterness and coriander, also some warming alcohol. Not bad, but a bit simple.
