On the 3rd of May 2004 a new seasonal beer is launched by the home brewery ‘De Halve Maan’: Spring.
The beer is based on an old family recipe of the family Maes. It is a natural, lightly clouded amber coloured beer of top fermentation. Special malts and the finest hops have been selected for the production of this beer. The use of a special yeast gives the beer a full and fruity flavour. Spring has 7% alc Vol. It is a very easy drinking beer that is perfectly suitable for the spring.

Off-white rocky head, good lace and mostly lasting. Clear amber body. Hoppy (pine) aroma. Moderatey bitter, lightly acidic initial flavour. Lightly bitter finish. Light to medium body. Watery texture. Lively carbonation.

(draught) Thick yellowish/orange head, leaving lace; (cold) hazy pale amber beer. Spicey nose (pepper, Grains of Paradise?) touch of diacetyl; bit of citrus, ambrée malt obvious. Taste again diacetyl, and quite some too. Burnt malt, even scorched sugar. There is however a fresh, spicey taste overlying, as from mild garden herbs. Cold makes it difficult to assure! Light to medium bodied. Bit metallic aftertaste, not realy disturbing. It’s an OK beer, even the diacetyl is within acceptable limits. But it ain’t a great one. I’d hate to taste this one aged, I’m afraid. Still, for Huyghe... (there's no more real brewing at de Halve Maan)
