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.

Bottiglia. Il gusto al naso resta attratto dall'orzo. L'intensità olfattiva è normale e la maniera in cui permane è sufficiente. Il mantello birroso superiore ha una buona tenuta. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. Il liquido è di consistenza limpida. Il colore è giallo dorato carico. Il corpo è pieno. L'amaro è di media potenza. La forza gustativa è elevata e permane in maniera sufficiente. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di pronta beva. Il retrogusto è di decente intensità. In bocca l'aroma è quello di miele, pane, cracker, frutta secca e agrumi.

Аромат отличный и по стилю. Много специй, как будто даже какие то травы для лекарства, но немного, пшеничный солод, немного алкоголя и общая большая травянистость. Цвет золотой, пена очень стойкая и пышная, белая. Вкус продолжение аромата. Много специй, снова немного пшеницы и травянистость. Правда появилось немного алкоголя. Но все равно в целом очень зашло, один из лучших по стилю.

Bottle 0,75ltr: The unsurpassed city beer of the people of Bruges, don’t make me laugh. This is an pretty commercial brew from Palm, its got the traditional colour clear orange. More sweet of taste than bitter, but this brew is still good for een starting beerlover. Go to Halve Maan brewery in Bruges their beers are brewed in the city of Bruges, this one not.
