Gulpener Rosé

Bottled from AH in Mestreech. Color is pink with lively carbonation.large but fluffy head, disappears in a second. Cherry nose. Aroma is sweeet cherry with remaining bitterness.

At an supermarkt, bottle 33cl, pink/reddish, foamy not lasting head, boring fruity one, with no other hinds than water and candy/fruits.

Bottle 33 cl. Pours a pale pink with a small white head and a skunky lager aroma, with no fruits to be detected at all. The taste is certainly not bad, a full beerish taste with a little candy sugar sweetness and some cherry- or berry-flavour added too. Nothing special, but not really bad for what it is too.

Bottle at Chris o birthday bash 08. Now everyone was fairly horrible about this beer, but I drank it quite easily and even had a second glass. OK so it isn’t really a beer so doesn’t score very highly but in terms of drinkability on a hot afternoon, it does the job. Very fruity aroma. Like kiddie’s sweets, but not overly offensive. It’s an ok sweetish fruit drink.

A poor rosé, I know some and not all is about aroma, it has a lot but unconsistent taste. Bad note for Gulpener, what still on my favorites

A Mes rate: Bottle at the Oi Oi Saveloy tasting at Chris O’s.
Bright girly pink. Probably looks great painted onto fingernails but not in my glass thanks. The aroma is actually quite pleasant. Artificial as hell and full of cardamine red boiled sweets. The flavour is what I would expect the stuff Sim buys from Lush to taste like should I be daft enough to drink it. Perfumed body wash. Erm... lovely.

330ml bottle at London tasting, May 2008 (courtesy hughie). BBE Aug 2009. Shocking pale pink colour. Smells of cherry cough mixture. Tastes of pear drops and cherry bombs. All very sweet, sticky and artificial. Pretty much as expected. "Beer with red fruit extracts" sums it up pretty well although the word "synthetic" needs to be in there too. Rather similar to Wittekerke Rose. Not very pleasant at all.

At May Ratebeer London Gathering at Chris O’s. Bright pink with a white head. Raspberry ice lolly aroma. Sickly sweet taste with some almond. Lots of metallic fizz and none of the sourness and bitterness it needs so desperately. Young people would like this, and we must all discourage them.
