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.

A very nice beer for the spring, as the name suggests. Like a somewhat toned down IPA, with some sweet notes. On draft.

Slightly hazy yellow colour with thin lacy head. Sharp aroma of hop. Intense hop flavour. It’s sharper than it is sweet. Very refreshing.

DutchDrebus (1422) - Oirschot, NETHERLANDS - APR 16, 2012
Bottle at home. Yellow to orange to copper colour with a decent white head. Smells very hoppy, fresh, some grapefruit, pineapple, malts. Tastes bitter, ipa-like, hoppy, grapefruit, but also grassy, leaves and ’green’. Great carbo, medium body.

Clear orange amber beer with nice white head. Aroma is flowery hops, quiet nice. Taste is flowery hops with some underlying caramel malts. Best spring beer so far.

Bottle @ home, 30 cl. from Hopduvel Ghent. Hazy orange-darkgolden color, with good offwhite head. Aroma fruits, nice hops, bit spice. Medium body. Taste little sweet, fruits, malts, and good hop bitterness. Refreshing brew. Is this really Huyghe ?

schuim (36) - NETHERLANDS - JUL 22, 2003
This springbeer has a very strong aroma of coreanderseed. Maybe a bit to strong, because the first impression is not that positive. After a carefull first sip that impresion changes; the taste is very nice. The full flavour is a mix between sweet maltynes and spicy flavours. It maight be overwhelming in taste and aroma but it is a very unique beer that I would like to drink more often.

bierkoning (8109) - La Tropica, NETHERLANDS - APR 27, 2003
Lovely perfumed aroma. Butter, citrus, plums and hops. Golden color with a touch of orange, a bit hazy. Sweetish, hoppy, herbal flavor with citrus, slightly buttery. Some tartness. Long curacao hopbitter finish. A very well made beer.
