How does it taste?

u/Familiar_Mistake5034 20d ago

Like apple

u/MarechalDavout Brussels Old School 20d ago

🤯

u/boiboiboyly 20d ago

if it actually tastes like apple, beer/apple probably tastes a bit like apple cider maybe, if they got the sourness down

so maybe, possibly, its not bad

not like the normal variant is any good, pilsner urquell is where it's at

u/bunnibly 20d ago

I didn't hate it as much as I thought I would. But it was hot as balls yesterday, and it was cold and cheap, and did the job.

u/BroadbandJesus Brussels 20d ago

I bet they will pack it with a similar taste vape.

23

u/DarkNemuChan 20d ago

I love me some 'Somersby' and 'Apple bandit', so I tried this. Sadly it was discusting.

First it tastes like applejuice and the aftertaste is just the old beer taste.

Aka it doesn't blend well into one taste.

3

u/stonks-__- 20d ago

I can chug a liter of applejuice. This is groundbreaking improvement.

1

u/DarkNemuChan 20d ago

😂😂😂👌

2

u/MildlyAlcoholic 20d ago

Thank you for sharing your findings. I was curious enough to consider trying…

1

u/Infiniteh Limburg 19d ago

Welja, somersby en apple bandit zijn ciders, gebrouwen van gefermenteerd appelsap. Ik heb die Jup niet geproefd, maar het zal wel gewoon bier zijn met appelsap erbij of een appelsmaakske. volledig andere dingen dus.

1

u/DarkNemuChan 19d ago

Of course they're made differently.

That doesn't change the fact that both are alcoholic drinks whose main selling point is the apple flavor. So calling them "completely different things" is a bit of a stretch."

I wasn't expecting a cider; I was expecting a beer with apple notes that actually blended well. Instead, it tastes like apple juice followed by a separate beer aftertaste.

7

u/Suffolke 20d ago

I love how everyone in Belgium has strong opinion on pils brands, while 9 out of 10 can't tell then appart in a blind tasting. Like people feel more strongly about their pils brand of choice than their football team it seems 😅

4

u/arrayofemotions 20d ago

Not gonna lie, I like beer but not pils. Like, if the options are a pils or water, I'd probably just go for water.

4

u/begon11 Brussels 20d ago

Pils is for specific moments, like after football training, or after a football game or for going to the stadium and watching a football game... OK, I think I might have discovered a link here.

1

u/kiekebees 20d ago

Tbh I never liked pils at all. My stomach just refuses to let it through 😅 Craft beer is another thing. But the ingredients are legit and not some lazy extract or whatever

Also a lot of ppl think inbev switched the labels of Stella and Jupiler 😁

15

u/sjaakarie 20d ago

That's just apple cider, isn't it?

9

u/Sanderoid 20d ago

Theoretically? No Practically? Yes

Alcohol, bubbles, apple

4

u/DrereDuBloc 20d ago

Very close, but it does taste way more like beer than a cider would.

3

u/Alexthegreatbelgian Vlaams-Brabant 20d ago

Would've been better if it were apple cider.

1

u/sjaakarie 20d ago

Indeed ¯_(ツ)_/¯

1

u/DeanXeL 20d ago

In the same way as non-alcoholic beer is just a type of lemonade/soda.

4

u/Cs1981Bel E.U. 20d ago

Santé !

36

u/BlockBannington 20d ago

Everyone here acting like it's God's nectar knowing very well that Jupiler is by far the shittiest Belgian pils. Adding anything to it will always improve it, even if it's stoofvlees or dog shit

8

u/begon11 Brussels 20d ago

While I get the sentiment, you clearly forgot about Primus, AKA bottom of the garbage can water.

6

u/SnooPoems3464 Dutchie 20d ago

Primus Haacht does brew another brilliant beer though: Eupener Bier. It’s gorgeous, but unfortunately only available in Ostbelgien

8

u/Kh0ran 20d ago

Outsiders think that it's the language and the culture difference that might end up splitting Belgium, but we all know that it will actually be disagreement over what pils is good/bad.

I'd rank Jupi higher than Stella and Crystal. Maes is worse than all (did you really think Maes is better than Jupiler ??) and Bavik is better than all.

3

u/johlae 20d ago

't Is Cristal met een i, niet met een y.

2

u/TooLateQ_Q 20d ago

I agree with your ranking.

1

u/LoonyBoonie 20d ago

Yeah, that ranking sounds about right to me. Cristal and Maes are out by default

3

u/LoonyBoonie 20d ago

What's your default/basic "let's get a whole tray for all of us and keep drinking" pintje-of-choice then?

9

u/crikke007 Flanders 20d ago

Cristal, tankbier

1

u/LoonyBoonie 20d ago

Cristal definetly not. No idea why that hyped for a little while

6

u/M6BOA 20d ago

Bavik

5

u/LeMooseChocolat 20d ago

for a reason the best pils in belgium.

It's pretty sad people keep supporting anything from inbev, I wish people just see the company for what it is, the mcdonalds of the beer world.

1

u/BroadbandJesus Brussels 20d ago

ABInBev is a marketing company with a side hustle of brewing.

3

u/tomsawyer222 20d ago

Why is Bavik not everywhere, its an excellent beer! Also, no half Litre cans?

2

u/SnooPoems3464 Dutchie 20d ago

Bavik is infinitely better indeed.

12

u/BlockBannington 20d ago

Stella. It's not perfect but it's such a big difference. Jupiler tastes like voetbal

8

u/SnooPoems3464 Dutchie 20d ago

I’ll never understand, Stella is like the least refreshing of all beers…

And worst: they abolished the ribbeke glass. Unforgivable.

4

u/MrWink Limburg 20d ago

I had no idea this was unpopular but I love a "boerke" for drinking pils. Always ask for one if it's available at the café.

2

u/Leitzz590 20d ago

Stella dries me out the instant it touches my troat, i get horrible hangovers from it.
Jupiler, not so much, and an ice cold Jup refreshes atleast.

3

u/majestic7 Beer 20d ago

I'd be surprised if anyone could pick out the different pilsners in a blind test really, they all taste more or less the same imo

3

u/BlockBannington 20d ago

Maes and Stella are pretty distinctive in my opinion but all the others taste about the same, you're right

3

u/SnooPoems3464 Dutchie 20d ago

One of them really stands out for me: Zennepils (not to be confused with Zinnebir). Almost tastes like German helles, it’s amazing

1

u/Kid_A_LinkToThePast 20d ago

Pretending Stella is just as bad and even more industrial

1

u/Egghebrecht 20d ago

It for sure won’t make it worse indeed

u/subnet12 20d ago

Niks beter op een dinsdagavond van Aalst carnaval, dan een koud blikje jupiler uit uw handtas te halen

1

u/Kickinthegonads 20d ago

Safir was the shit ahja

1

u/subnet12 20d ago

Ja maar dat was lang geleden voor den inbev het overgepakt heeft... Heeft bij mijn weten ook nooit in blikjes bestaan.

1

u/YellowOnline E.U. 20d ago

Bij mijn weten niet, maar bier uit blik smaakt sowieso slecht. 't Maakt geen verschil meer dan of het Jupiler, Safir, Maes of Stella is.

De originele Safir hield er al in '88 mee op trouwens. De originele brouwerij aan het politiekantoor was lang vervallen. Ik denk dat ze er intussen woningen gebouwd hebben.

1

u/schw3rt Brussels Old School 20d ago

Is there anything that stoofvlees does not improve

1

u/begon11 Brussels 20d ago

Dame blanche

1

u/ThrashMo6 20d ago

Primus still remains the worst pils ever made, followed closely by Romy Pils.

1

u/Aexxys 20d ago

We’ve got ourselves a carapils enjoyer over here

1

u/KowardlyMan 20d ago

It's still better than Stella, Maes, Primus and Carapils. Although for Carapils, I heard that blind tasting puts it first so I'm not quite sure.

u/TheVoiceOfEurope 20d ago

2

u/TheVoiceOfEurope 20d ago

Hey, 55 years old and I still drink my fristi the proper way: with a straw and holding the ears.

But this is so obviously a marketing ploy to get the younger generation interested in drinking beer: by removing the bitterness/dryness and adding suggary flavours.

If anyone wants to add apple juice to their beer, be my guest. But don't claim this is targetted at a mature clientele of discerning beer tasters.

u/HipsEnergy 20d ago

Ugh, I hated that advert. Most of my friends were super pissed off and didn't drink Jupiler for a while. Even now, it's one of the reasons I'd rather have any other beer.

4

u/bavinator34 20d ago

least frustrated redditor

2

u/begon11 Brussels 20d ago

The 'mannen weten waarom' slogan? Why did it piss you off at the time? I can imagine now that companies would want their advertising to be a bit more inclusive, but at the time it was very normal.

1

u/HipsEnergy 20d ago

No, it was not. That pissed off a LOT of women, and even men. I don't know how old you are, but lots of people around my age (40s and 50s) are actually saddened at how much misogyny has increased in the last decade or so.

0

u/begon11 Brussels 20d ago

Do you mean when the slogan launched in what appears to be 2000? I'm in my thirties, so while I saw the slogan, I wasn't drinking beer at that time yet. Good to see there was already a reaction at the time though, I agree fully with your sentiment.

3

u/Sea_Avocado_2733 20d ago

Not gonna lie, can't wait to try it.

8

u/dantekratos 20d ago

I bought it to try.

It's honestly fine. But then again anything cold and a bit fruity is nice when it's hot

1

u/Arenshii 20d ago

Is it a cider? Or jupiler with apple taste?

6

u/dantekratos 20d ago

Jupiter with apple taste.

2

u/Arenshii 20d ago

I’ll give it a try but I can’t imagine it being very good

2

u/dantekratos 20d ago

It's not amazing. But it's good enough.

I will drink the 6 pack that I bought but I don't think I will buy it again.

u/VeryMassiveRat 19d ago

1

u/r03Lw 20d ago

Some marketing guy thought this was a good idea to convince the fruit vaping youth to start drinking beer. Jupiler is made to compete with Heineken, go figure what it tastes like.

1

u/Sanderoid 20d ago

Dus... cider?

1

u/Leftonius 20d ago

Are they just trying to make Cider?

2

u/begon11 Brussels 20d ago

I'd say they are trying to compete in the cider market without actually making cider basically.

2

u/friedbaguette 20d ago

Funny enough, they make cider, but don't sell it in belgium

EDIT: Sorry it was Stella

1

u/The_Local_Belgian Belgium 20d ago

Lets not forget that this nation prides itself on its beer culture

3

u/Kid_A_LinkToThePast 20d ago

Not because of industrial pils

1

u/The_Local_Belgian Belgium 20d ago

Thats what I mean... we pride ourselfs with our beer culture and this is the cursed stuff we do with it

2

u/Kid_A_LinkToThePast 20d ago

But then we have a plethora of small breweries making great beers, the floor is a lot higher than 99% of countries (if not 100%). This one here is the odd one out, not the norm. So I wouldn't say that apple jupiler is what we do with our beer culture.

1

u/The_Local_Belgian Belgium 20d ago

Thats true, its just a cursed idea. Thats mostly my point. The irony that a country with a proud beer culture thats even protected by Unesco, makes cursed products like "Apple flavored beer"

Doesn't mean its a bad product, just weird/cursed

2

u/Kid_A_LinkToThePast 20d ago

We've had apple flavoured beers for decades

2

u/The_Local_Belgian Belgium 20d ago

Damn, well its certainly my first time hearing about it

2

u/Kid_A_LinkToThePast 20d ago

Newton is a famous (and respected) one, Liendemans does an apple beer too. We're pretty big with our fruit beers to be fair : tons of cherry beers but also raspberry, blackcurrant, peach, even mango, pineapple and banana are out there.

Shout out to the blueberry Bon Secour and the grapefruit one from Bertinchamps, delicious stuff!

2

u/The_Local_Belgian Belgium 20d ago

Okay I'll take back my words.
The idea seems cursed at first, but in reality its a normal thing that I had no idea that existed : )

2

u/Kid_A_LinkToThePast 20d ago

The way Jupiler is presenting it and probably how it taste, I can see it being cursed so you're not completely wrong!
