Gulpener Echt 2009

Bottle@Home. Sweet malty and grainy aroma. Brown colour, beige head, good lace. Pretty sweet, light bitter, malty, hints of caramel and dried dark fruit. Tasted like the lesser version of Lindeboom Echt 2009.

4-way bottle tasting at Arendsnest. Murky brown body with slight head. Nose of hops and cheese. Taste of malts. Quite sweet, and slightly watery.

In valkenburg, bottle 300ml, amber, small head, lots of grain and sweets, bit roasted.

Ligth brown coloured beer with a small white head and medium carbonation. A hoppy yeasty aroma. Full palate with touches of malt. Finish is roasted bitter.

Bottle 30 cl. Dry malty smell, with a sweet undertone. Red brownish colour with beige foam. Taste is too sweet in the beginning, indeed syrup as fonefan describes. The finish is a bit bitter, but again the sweetness has a big part in that too.

Bottle at RBESG 09 Sheffield. Pale chestnut colour, thin beige head. Too sweet. Sweet malt. OK carbonation. But too sweet.
