Guldenberg is a high-fermenting, balanced bitter beer. The origin of the name comes from the former Guldenberg-abbey in Wevelgem where monks used to make beer. Also, Wevelgem is the birthplace of one of the brewers.

Taste: A full-bodied abbey beer that balances between sweet and bitter. It is dry-hopped with Hallertau Mittelfrüh which results in a unique soft-bitter taste and aroma.

Kolor złoty klarowny. Płyn przykrywa biała, wysoka, zbudowana z drobnych pęcherzyków piana. Jest trwała, ładnie oblepia szkło.
Aromat słodki, słodowy, owocowy (owoce europejskie), nieco ziemisty (kurz), piwniczny i delikatnie przyprawowy. Intensywność aromatu na poziomie średnio wysokim.
Smak: tutaj balans słodowej słodyczy i chmielowej goryczki. Przy czym ten drugi atrybut, z czasem i na finiszu nabiera na sile. Ostatecznie słodowa słodycz jest tylko tłem.
Alkohol dobrze ukryty. Wysycenie wysokie. Ciało pełne. Tekstura gładka, aksamitna. Posmak długi wytrawny.

Bottle. I'm fan of De Ranke, rated quite some beers of them but in one way or another never rated this beer before... Time for a chance.
Color: Slightly hazy golden, frothy white head. Aroma: Belgium yeast, fruity stone fruit and yellow fruit esters, malty with some hop. Taste: Yeasty, fruity esters, malty with a nice floral hop background. Medium body, average carbonation. A bit sweetish but also a nice hopbitterness. Definitely will get this one more often.

Bottiglia. All'olfatto si esprimono sentori di sottobosco. L'intensità olfattiva è normale e il modo in cui permane è sufficiente. Il manto birroso superiore è caratterizzato da una schiuma dalla buona tenuta. La grandezza delle bollicine è a grana medio-fine. La carbonazione è abbondante. Il liquido è di aspetto opalescente e anche qui la grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine, con carbonazione allegra e vivace. Il colore è giallo dorato carico. Il corpo è strutturato. L'amaro è deciso. La forza gustativa è elevata e la permanenza è buona. Il gusto è piacevole. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di birra beverina. Il finale è amarognolo, pulito e complesso. Il retrogusto è intenso. L'aroma in bocca porta i segni di miele, crosta di pane, frutta secca, luppolo, resina, agrumi, frutta passita, uvetta bagnata nel rum e caldo.

Aroma of light fruits, some spices, yeast, hops. Flavour is similar, surprisingly not sweet and rather hoppy, with a good bitterness.

Аромат хмелевой, фруктовый, немного солода. Цвет темно желтый с потрясающей кремовой шапкой. Вкус как и оказался слегка терпкий и очень травянистый но тем не менее не резкий. Послевкусие в основе хмелевое с кислинкой. Имеются также ягодные оттенки с намеком на сухофрукты. В целом хороший охмеленный Бельгийский эль.
