Bottled. Clear golden coloured with a small off white head. Fruity aroma of cookies, malts and corn. Fruity flavour of cookies and malts with notes of corn and hops. Fruity finish. A bit cloying.

Sweet, fruity nose, slight sourness is detectable. Amber colored body, with a medium sized white head. Sweet flavor, with notes of raw sugar, yeast and some alcohol.

(Bottled) Deep copper color with a smallish, foamy head. Slightly alcoholic, sweet-honeyish-malty aroma with some hops. Very fruity, sweetish and malty flavor. Medium-bodied, slightly alcoholic but quite smooth palate. A quite drinkable and smooth bock.

Golden/amber-coloured, medium head. Fruity and, like many spring bocks, way too sweet to my liking.

Another solid outing from Gulpener, who make consistently good, but not great, beers. This is a bright amber bock that reminds of a tripel with its peachy, flowery esters, soft body (ok, that’s not really a hallmark of a tripel, but it is on some of the better ones)...very sweet, packs a little kick, like that from a ’korenwolf’. A pure form pale bock, with no dark malt character at all. If it weren’t for the esters, this would be a big dortmunder.

One of the better Lentebocks i’ve had this year. Smooth taste, as the typical lentebock is going down the throat. Fine palate.

Bit plastic and fruity aroma. Amber, white frothy head, good lacing. Sweet, fruity. Long sweet finish.

A sweet aroma. A sweet, fruity taste (caramel and banana). Much too sweet for a light bockbeer, but nice to drink on an evening in spring.
