Description
In 1872, Jules Vanneste bought the ‘t Hamerken distillery. In 1889, he took the step of definitively converting the distillery into a brewery. Soon, ‘t Hamerken top-fermentation beers became a household name in the Bruges area. Brewing continued till 1982.
In 1983, Paul Vanneste (great-grandson of the founder) founded the new De Gouden Boom brewery in collaboration with Frank Boon Brewery from Lembeek. In 1985 Brouwerij De Gouden Boom is granted a licence to brew the STEENBRUGGE abbey beers.
On 16 November 2001, PALM brewery acquired a majority interest in Brouwerij De Gouden Boom and in 2003 it was completely taken over by Palm Brewery. In the same year the Prior of St Peter’s Abbey in Steenbrugge licensed PALM Breweries to brew STEENBRUGGE abbey beers.
Since 2004 production of Bruges beers has been relocated to the PALM Breweries site in Steenhuffel.

For the second rate, I could say that it is a honest tripel, Belgian style 100%, yeasty, apricot, plum, warm alcool, to drink step by step. 14.05.2018, tasting it at Lausanne, Prélaz, buying at the closed grain d'Orges, Crissier.

Clear brown/red with an off-white head. Sweet and fruity aroma of caramel and malty spicy dark fruits. Very easily drinkable.

Aroma of malts, yeast, fruits, hops. Flavour is medium fruity sweetness with some bitterness in the aftertaste. Rather typical Tripel, decent but not a great example of the style.

Aroma of sweet malt, caramel, brown sugar, yeast, raisins. Flavour is sweet with a little bitterness in the aftertaste. Too sweet and dull for my taste.

Bottiglia. Il gusto al naso propende per il fruttato. L'olfatto viene stimolato in maniera normale, permanendo in maniera sufficiente. Il cappello di schiuma ha una buona tenuta. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. Il liquido si presenta presenta limpido. Il colore è giallo ambrato. Il corpo è rotondo. L'amaro è pronunciato. La forza gustativa è elevata e si prolunga in modo sufficiente. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di birra beverina. Il retrogusto è di decente intensità. Il tetto della bocca porta note di caramello, miele, cracker, frutta secca, agrumi, spezie e frutta passita.
