Gulpener Lentebock

Brewed by Gulpener Bierbrouwerij
Style: Heller Bock
Gulpen, Netherlands

Dark coulor, no head,.. very good taste, one of the betters

30cl Bottle. Clear deep amber colour, thick off-white head. Aroma of caramel, honey, molasses, some bready malts. Flavour is sweet, caramel/molasses, sweet nuts, light bready, light fruity,with a light bitter finish. Medium to fullbodied. Maybe a tad too sweet, but flavourful and easy drinking.

Tasty Spring Beer

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

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.

draft at Pothuiske in Maastricht. Dark orange color, almost reddish. small but nicely lacing head, must have got a very fresh one. Malts in the nose, with light sweet caramel. Higher alcohol is well hidden.
