Gulpener Pilsner
Barley, water and hop, with no maize, rice or other fillers: that is the whole recipe of Gulpener's pils. The hop gives a subtle hop flavour and a measured bitterness, and the beer tastes grainy. The water comes from the brewery's own spring, the hop from Reijmerstok down the road, and the beer lagers for well over a month. 5.0% ABV, brewed in Gulpen, Limburg.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Gulpener Pilsner
Serve well-chilled at 4–6°C for maximum crispness. A pilsner served too warm loses its defining snap.
The tall, narrow pilsner glass preserves carbonation and showcases the golden clarity that defines the style.
Drink fresh and cold. Pilsners do not improve with age — within 3 months of packaging is ideal.
