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.

Bottle from Nisa, Hebden Bridge. Brownish-red in colour with a small head. Rich but not overbearing, although not too stated in taste or flavour with a hint of chocolate in its nose amongst some pale malts. Its strength is not really a factor, and it has a fairly smooth texture.

Hatalmas, örökké tartó hab, kristálytiszta borostyán szín. Malátás, kissé élesztős és fűszeres illat. Malátás, fűszeres, gyógynövényes, kissé élesztős ízvilág. Közepesen testes, közepesen szénsavas, enyhén keserű. Kellemes, jól iható, jó egyensúllyal rendelkező sör.

Zuletzt getrunken als Türchen vom 7.12.2025 des Kalea-Adventskalender (internationale Version) 🎄
Ein eher unspektakuläres Bier, das aber nicht schlecht ist. Nette grasige Kräuter- und Gewürznoten, aber etwas flach. Auch wenn ein Blanche nicht zu intensiv sein darf, so ist dieses doch etwas schwachbrüstig, wenn auch geschmacklich gut.

75 cl fles gedeeld door Wim.M. Bruin-rood bier met beige schuimkraag. Licht aroma van caramel, de smaak is echter heel dropachtig. Lekker vol in de mond
