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.

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.

I’ve never been a giant fan of spring beers, they’re always excessively sweet, but this one is very decent. Some floral aromas and a sharp, not overwhelming sweetness, throughout. Nice balance.

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.

Grima (1574) - Saarburg, Rhineland-Palatinate, GERMANY - FEB 26, 2012
Pours a light amber colored beer with a beautiful fine-pored head. The smell is very grainy, very sweet and subtle hoppy. Starts with lots of malt flavor, well-balanced bitter-sweet, very fruity, tart and again very grainy. The middle part shows slightly musty-malty and fruity and hoppy. In the finish the beer is stale-hoppy, very yeasty and fermented-fruity

suprchunk (1065) - Heinsberg, GERMANY - DEC 29, 2011
Chunky light amber colored pour. Small white head that is just a few bubbles on top. No lacing. Fruity aroma with alcohol. Sweet taste. A little bitterness. Not too bad.

MMR (218) - NETHERLANDS - AUG 23, 2011
Pours a nice golden color, bit thick and bit hazy with a slight foam head. Tastes a lot like Jopen Hoppenbeer (bitter, yeasty) but with a nice fruity add to it. Bitter and strong in taste. Enjoyable.

Bottle @ home. Slightly hazy golden color, white head. Average smell and taste, nothing really special, just slightly fruits, hops and fresh. Medium carbo and body.
