Spring is a time of renewal, warmth, and fresh flavors. As we leave the cold of winter behind, our beer choices naturally shift towards lighter, fruitier, and more refreshing options. Belgium, known for its diverse and world-renowned brewing tradition, offers a variety of beers that perfectly complement the spring season. Here are some of the best Belgian beers to enjoy as the flowers bloom and the sun shines.
1. Saison Dupont (Brasserie Dupont)
Saison is the ultimate spring beer, and Saison Dupont is a benchmark for the style. Originally brewed for farm workers in Wallonia, this farmhouse ale is dry, effervescent, and slightly spicy with notes of citrus and pepper. Its refreshing nature makes it perfect for sipping on a warm spring afternoon.
2. Lindemans Framboise (Brouwerij Lindemans)
Springtime calls for fruit-forward beers, and Lindemans Framboise delivers with its vibrant raspberry character. This lambic beer is tart, slightly sweet, and incredibly refreshing. It pairs wonderfully with fresh cheeses, fruit tarts, or even a spring picnic in the park.
3. Duvel (Brouwerij Duvel Moortgat)
While Duvel is enjoyed year-round, its light body and crisp carbonation make it an excellent spring beer. This strong golden ale has fruity esters, a hint of spice, and a dry finish, making it a deceptively drinkable brew despite its high ABV.
4. Blanche de Namur (Brasserie du Bocq)
A true Belgian witbier, Blanche de Namur is a soft, cloudy wheat beer with delicate notes of coriander and orange peel. This beer is smooth, slightly tangy, and immensely refreshing—ideal for a sunny spring day.
5. Rodenbach Classic (Brouwerij Rodenbach)
For those who enjoy a touch of tartness, Rodenbach Classic is a fantastic choice. This Flemish red ale has a complex balance of sweet and sour flavors with hints of cherries, oak, and caramel. The moderate alcohol content and refreshing acidity make it a great beer for transitioning from winter to spring.
6. Orval (Brasserie d’Orval)
One of Belgium’s most distinctive Trappist beers, Orval is a dry, hoppy, and slightly funky beer with floral and citrusy notes. Its unique flavor profile, created through wild yeast fermentation, makes it a fantastic companion for a crisp spring evening.
7. St. Feuillien Grand Cru (Brasserie St. Feuillien)
For those who enjoy Belgian strong ales with a fresh touch, St. Feuillien Grand Cru is an excellent springtime pick. This unfiltered golden ale is floral, citrusy, and slightly herbal, offering a complex but highly drinkable experience.
Final Thoughts
Spring is a time to embrace fresh, lively flavors, and Belgium has no shortage of beers that fit the season perfectly. Whether you prefer a tart lambic, a crisp saison, or a bright golden ale, there’s a Belgian beer to match every springtime occasion. So grab a glass, head outside, and toast to the arrival of warmer days!
