Gulpener Sjoes

Brewed by Gulpener Bierbrouwerij
Style: Traditional Ale
Gulpen, Netherlands

(bottle) Amber colour with a small frothy white head. Sourish malty nose with a tinge of floral hops and a dense fruitiness. Sweet flavour, medium body. Sweet malty taste with a quite balanced caramel and marzipan finish with a light bitterness. I´m not overwhelmed by this “mixery” style but all in all it´s tasty and even refreshing in spite of its sweetness.

Hoppy spiritus aroma with floral undertones. Clear red amber colour with poor head and lacing. Sharp bitter hop malt flavour. Smooth fizzy palate that lingers.

The sweetness of the oud bruin pushes away the pilsener bitterness. Not surprisingly, ’cause Gulpener pils isn’t very bitter. Creamy, even a bit honeyish but also a bit thin. Not too bad, except for the caramelly bitterness in the aftertaste.

Mix between pilsener and Oud Bruin. Sweetness is overpowering the pilsener, which is a good thing because Gulpener Pilsener is rather bad imo. Also, sweet caramel, honeylike taste, but very thin..

It’s a blend of pilsener & oud bruin. Two beers in my opinion that don’t have very full tastes combining to make one beer that doesn’t a very full taste. It tastes fine, the pils cancels out oud bruins sweetness, but it is just too thin for me.

I rate this beer higher than others have for its very unique sweet taste. With the first sip comes a very subtle and gradually powerful sweet honey-like flavor. The flavor gradually subsides as one drinks more of it (likely due to the acids). I recommend taking sips of water to wash the bitter flavor out in between tasting this beer to experience the flavor again and again.

An amber beer with a huge beige head. The aroma is sweet spicy with notes of oranges. The flavor is very sweet with notes of honey and a dry end.

Malty, bready and caramelly aroma. Very sweet and mild flavour. Unfortunately there is also a faint note of vomit. Quite thin. What you could except from a mix of pilsener and oud bruin.
