One of Van Steenberge's core beers, brewed for the Augustijnenpaters (Augustinians) of Ghent since 1978 and since 1982 in its current bottle-conditioned form. The mother beer of countless aliases.
The brewery describes it commercially as follows:
Augustijn wordt al sinds 1295 gebrouwen door de paters Augustijnen in hun klooster in Gent. In de middeleeuwen brouwden en commercialiseerden veel paters en monniken hun eigen bier. Water was dikwijls verontreinigd en dus was het veiliger om bier te drinken omdat het water wordt gekookt tijdens het brouwproces.
Toen de paters Augustijnen in 1978 op zoek gingen naar een nieuwe partner voor het brouwen van hun bier, was Jozef Van Steenberge volop aan het experimenteren met hoge gistingsbieren. Jozef won de uitgeschreven wedstrijd van de paters Augustijnen. De brouwerij kreeg zo toegang tot de receptuur van dit historisch kloosterbier, maar ook tot de kennis van receptuurbeheerder Janus Jeremanus. Janus was meer dan 25 jaar lang adviseur van Brouwerij Van Steenberge en introduceerde de originele giststammen van de Augustijnen die we tot op vandaag nog steeds gebruiken.

0.33l bottle. This is a cloudy golden colored one with a nice medium sized white bubbly head on the top. It smells really bready, dough and a little yeast. Floral hints but a really mild nose. It's somewhat high on the carbonation and in the mouth it has a nice oily texture. Tastes nice also with a sweet flavor dominating the flavor profile. Soft sugar, sweet melon. A little Belgian twist and a floral dry aftertaste. Nice non compiled one. 13.02.2016

Ugyanaz az ízvilág mint a Goulden Draak sörök, de nem olyan intenzív. Itt nincs meg az uralkodó karamell, inkább a komlós, fűszeres íz nyomul az előtérbe, plusz egy árnyalatnyi gyümölcs. Az alkohol is a háttárbe húzódik. Közepesen testes.
