Gulpener Weizen

Gulpener Bierbrouwerij
Netherlands·Alcohol-Free Wheat Beer
Tap to rate

The brewery's Weizen without the alcohol: a cloudy white wheat beer, fruity and lightly bitter, with a soft finish. It is brewed from wheat malt, barley malt and hop in Gulpen and served at 5 to 7°C, which suits mussels, salads, fish, creamy cheese and Limburg vlaai. The brewery suggests it for anyone who still has to drive home or lead a Monday-morning meeting with a clear head. 0.3% ABV.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Gulpener Weizen

◎ Appearance

A hazy, pale golden-white body characteristic of traditional wheat beer, with suspended yeast particles creating a cloudy appearance. The head is modest but stable, holding a fine white collar that gradually settles. Carbonation is moderate and visible throughout the glass.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with wheat malt sweetness and subtle bread notes, complemented by delicate fruity esters typical of wheat beer fermentation. Light floral and herbal notes from noble hops frame the background, while a gentle phenolic character adds complexity without overwhelming.

◐ Taste

Entry is soft and lightly sweet from wheat malt, with a clean, dry mid-palate that avoids heaviness. Low bitterness (14 IBU) integrates smoothly, and the finish remains refreshing without astringency. The 0.3% ABV keeps the beer bright and drinkable, with a gentle breadiness persisting through the swallow.

Serve at 5–8°C

Serve cold at 7–10°C. The hazy wheat base and fresh yeast character shine when the beer is crisp and cold.

Pint glass

The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.

Drink within 4–6 months. Wheat beers are designed to be fresh — the yeast character diminishes with age.
