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.

Dark golden to light orange. Quite dense white head, average size, sub par retention and lacing. Aroma: soft doughish and slightly sugary base, citric notes (mainly orange, slight lemon), peach, a hint of spiciness. Taste: medium to high sweetness, medium or slightly aove medium carbonation. A sweet edge in the mouth and a slight bitter edge in an earthy, not too dry finish. Taste notes as per aroma, plus a rather vivid earthy note that feels a bit too high and kinda mutes down the other taste notes. Medium to dense body, medium carbonation, slightly sub par carbonation per style. A semi-full, soft mouthfeel. Ok, but lacks complexity or refinement.

Tap at FOB, Rimini, Italy. Pours reddish amber, hazy, with a nice soft head of whitish fine foam. Aroma is herbal, rosemary, toffee. Body and carbonation are average. Taste is medium sweet, with average bitterness, which however becomes dominant - even too much - in the long final.
