About
Als onafhankelijke familiebrouwerij genieten we al sinds 1825 van onze vrijheid. De vrijheid om onze eigen koers te varen en alleen te doen wat goed voelt. De vrijheid om de smaak van bier niet af te vlakken, maar te verrijken en continu te zoeken naar vernieuwende smaken. Die vrijheid ervaren wij al 8 generaties en dat proef je terug in onze 16 speciaalbieren. We hebben een sterke band met onze omgeving en zijn graag van waarde voor de wereld om ons heen. Daarom brouwen we bier met water uit eigen bronnen, gebruiken we hop uit eigen hoptuin en komt onze gerst van boeren uit de regio. Dit alles houdt onze ‘voetafdruk’ laag en maakt Gulpener tegelijkertijd tot het enige echte bier van Nederlands bodem.

Onze hop komt ook uit de regio. In Reijmerstok, een dorpje op steenworpafstand van de brouwerij, verbouwt familie Wouters volledig milieuvriendelijk drie hopsoorten die onmisbaar zijn voor onze bieren. Het oogsten van de prachtige hopbellen is elk jaar weer een bijzonder moment. Samen met familie en vrienden van de brouwerij oogsten we dan niet alleen onze hop, de basis van onze karaktervolle bieren, we vieren ook het feit dat we vrij zijn. Vrij om onze eigen koers te varen en alleen te doen wat goed voelt.

In 2026 overgenomen door Grolsch.

5.8/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 5 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 6
Pours a clear dark yellow/amber with a white head. Aroma of malts, fruits, caramel, light hops. Flavour is malty sweetness, a little alcohol, midly hoppy, with a moderate bitter finish. Decent but mediocre.

5.4/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 5 Flavor 5 Texture 6 Overall 5.5
Aroma of malts, malts, more malts, some hops. Flavour is malty sweetness, with some hop bitterness in the aftertaste, which is a good thing. Boring but better than most dismal macro Lentebocks.

Bottiglia. All'olfatto si esprimono sentori di sour e di vinoso. L'olfatto viene stimolato in maniera elevata e l'esistenza olfattiva è sufficiente. Il cappello di schiuma resiste poco. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. Il liquido è di aspetto nuvoloso. Bollicine fini costituiscono la forma del perlage, con carbonazione persistente. Il colore è ambrato carico tendente rossiccio. Il corpo è pieno. L'amaro è contenuto e c'è anche una componente moderatamente acidula. La forza gustativa è elevata. La continuità gustativa è buona. Il gusto è piacevole. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di birra beverina. Il finale è bruschino. Il retrogusto è di decente intensità. Al gusto vengono donati sentori di caramello, miele, crosta di pane, frutta secca, agrumi, pompelmo, lampone, ciliegia e vino rosso.

5.1/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 4 Texture 6 Overall 4.5
Aroma of sweet malt, caramel, raisins, candy sugar. Flavour is heavy sweet with a light bittersweet finish. Aroma and body are ok, unfortunately the sweetness is overwhelming and cloying. Not for me. **** 26-05-2017 Re-rated as "Gerardus Winterbier". Same annoying unbalanced sweetness.

Aroma of tart cherries, brown sugar, hint of vinegar, malt. Flavour is moderate to medium sweet and moderate sour. It’s a shame about the sugary sweetness.

5.6/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 4.5
Aroma of dark malt, sugar, hint of roast, raisins, yeast, dark fruity notes. Flavour is medium sweet with a light bittersweet finish. Rather ordinary Dubbel, meaning sweet and dull.

Bottle at home. Aroma of wheat, banana, some citrus, spicy yeast. Flavour is light sweet with a note of wheaty sourness. Body is light to medium. Drinkable and pleasant enough, but also quite mediocre.
