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.

Bottled. Pale yellow colour, small white head. Aroma is paper, dry hay and slight earthyness. Flavour is maize, sweet malts and a lot of grass. Quite unbalanced brew in my opinion.

Aroma is quite unpleasant. It’s musty with a medicinal alcohol scent. Flavour is a little sour on the tongue which is both unexpected and unwanted from a double like this. I miss the warmth of malt. Too much sour fruitiness.

Thanks to Homerwantsbeer for sharing a bottle. This brew pours a cloudy yellow-gold color with a medium bone white head that burns off steadily. Spotty lacing. Mild spice and vanilla aroma, with a hint a wheat. Light-bodied and effervescent with light citrus, coriander and wheat flavors. The finish is mildly spicy with a lingering lemony aftertaste. Pretty straightforward overall, enjoyable to some degree but falls short in the flavor department.

bottle - Pours gold with a light hop and pale malt aroma. It has pretty good hops flavor to go with the cereal malt sweetness and has a lightly bitter finish. Not bad.

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.

330ml bottle. Cloudy deep gold with a decent white head. Aroma of grain, lemon and spice. Flavour of wheat, coriander and yeast. Easy drinking wheat beer which beats Hoegaarden hands down.
