Gulpener Lentebock

Brewed by Gulpener Bierbrouwerij
Style: Heller Bock
Gulpen, Netherlands

Serve in Lager glass, Shaker, Stein

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

For a lentebock this is dark in colour, almost amber. Plenty of fresh hop in the nose. Flavour has a good balance of sweet, soft caramel malt and dry, bitter hop.

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.
