Vier het voorjaar met dit karaktervolle lentebier. Gemaakt voor lange terrasavonden en korte broeken. Deze licht moutige bock is alleen in het voorjaar verkrijgbaar en is net zo uitgesproken als onze brouwerij. Eigenwijs en fris als de lente zelf. Er is geen beter bier om van de eerste zonnestralen te genieten.

Bottle, 6.5%. Very vinous aroma, smells quite old, but is not. Dark copper colour, small white head. The flavour is also vinous and reminds me of a beer consisting of 90 percent lager and 10 percent oud bruin. Not bad though, but the sweetness is a little sugary. Medium carbonation. Ends with alcohol and roughness which actually suits this beer. Grows on me.

Bottle (under licence of bierkoning !): Chestnut-amber coloured, thin, stable off-white head; fruity-nutty-malty nose, a bit alcoholic too with a tinge of liquorice; mainly sweet flavour, light to medium bodied; sweet-malty, a bit vinous, brandy-like finish with an illusion of bitterness in the very end. decent Bock, a bit too much on the sweet side...............

(bottle) Clear amber colour with a short but lacy slightly off-white foam. Sweet and slightly toasty malty aroma with chestnuts and light notes of caramel. Sweet malty flavour, slightly toasty taste, distinctive chestnut notes; medium body, smooth carbonated mouthfeel, well-rounded bitter, slightly hopped and lingering finish; present but well-integrated, warming alcoholic note. Very pleasant. Many thanks to bierkoning for this one.

An amber beer with a fine light brown head. The aroma is acidic - almost like a Flemmish Sour Ale - of over ripe fruit. The flavor is sweet, slightly acidic and slightly smoked, combined with notes of smoke, which gives it a dry end.

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.

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