De Gouden Boom (Palm)

Client Brewer in Brugge, West Flanders, Belgium 🇧🇪
Owned by Brouwerij Palm

Established in 1983

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.

75cl bottle. Golden color light haze, bubbly white head. Aroma is malty, bready, spices (gruut). Taste a bit thick, starchy. Clean finish. Decent but not my preference in the style.

Bottle from Nisa, Hebden Bridge. Deeper golden with a thin head. Sweet tasting yeasty malts with some banana evident in its aftertaste, there's a sweetness evident in its nose too.

Gedronken tijdens een weekend Brugge eerder dit jaar. Goudgeel helder bier met wit schuim. Moutig geur van banaan en kruiden. Smaak is fruitig en kruidig iets hoppig in de afdronk. De fruitige smaak blijft even hangen.

Bottle from Nisa, Hebden Bridge. Golden-blonde with a very thin head. A lot more fruity-floral-herbal than you might expect from a Witbier, but some of its more recognisable styling exists.

Bottle, 33cl. Clear gold pouring with a medium-sized white head. Average to good retention. Aroma: overripe apples & pears, candy, cheese-like spiciness. Medium body. Average carbo. Rather sweet taste. Malty, fruity, spicy as it is offen the case with Belgian blonds. Light bitter ending. A pleasant style representative. No complains.

Bottle at home, a good golden color, little white head. Nice taste, I don't understand why the average for this tripel is low. It deserves better. Good tripel.
