COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
(translated by a Scotsman)
Gulpener Sjoes is a colour rich blend from two classic beer styles. It lends a remarkable taste from a harmony from the craft brewed Gulpener Pilsener and the older known Gulpener Oud Bruin. From this remarkable combination comes a unique beer that has been loved for decades in Limburg pubs.

Bottle, bought @ YNWA, Kolding.
[vintage 2006]
Pours a clear deep amber with quite a large frothy white head. Aroma is mild, rather pilsner-ish, with sweet pale malt, and a little bit of ’wet dog’ hops. Surprisingly oily mouthfeel. Flavour is much more sour than the aroma. But not much. As Maria puts it, the Oud Bruin almost drowns in the pilsner. Easily drinkable, but nothing special.

Maria (7805) - Thisted, DENMARK - DEC 12, 2007
Dark golden with a nice, creamy head. The aroma has notes of malt, caramel and pilsner plus a very light sourness. The flavour has the same notes, but the Oud Bruin drowns in the pilsner. The result is smooth, easy-going and slightly boring, but it’s very easy to drink. 2442

Pale brown in colour. Slightly sweet, malty aroma. Taste is a bit fruity and malty. Very easy to drink and refreshing. This is quite like Palm in many ways but is a tad sweeter, fruitier.

Oud bruin in Holland is a low alcohol beer which is very sweet and typically a women’s beer, not a style i like very much, but combined with a pilsner it gets some backbone. Not that i would get out of my way to get it, but....Caramelish with some hop and grain. Drinkable.

Is this really a flemish sour ale?? Amber with off white head. Malty grainy aroma. Light thin palate. Light malty nutty & no hops. Quite non-saying - no taste of anything really. A lot like a pilsner/lager!
