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.

Huge, very dense & fine beige head, leaving shards of lace over clear chestnut-coloured beer. Caramel, toffee, molasses, dark sweet bread, glazing. More of the same in the mouth. Molasses, melanoidins, almonds, marzipan, frangipane. Spritzy, even fizzy. Slightly, even when not overly sticky. Some roast flavour in the aftertaste. Guess what. For the Dutch market, absorbing anything Be?

Im Glas garnicht so spektakulär- golden, stabiler Schaum, zaghafte Perlen. In der Nase schön hopfig, leichte Fruchtnoten. Im Trunk Champagner, prickelnd, etwas Süße, im Abgang leicht bitter. Dann spät nochmal Malz. Sehr ausgewogen, hohe Drinkability. Gut, dass ich die große Flasche gekauft hab - die mach ich doch glatt leer. Sehr lecker.

Pours hazy deep golden with green shades. Head is abundant and tan colored. Aroma brings wild yeast, apple, plumcake and dried apricots along with white flowers. Taste is dry, metallic and sour, with a hint of bitterness in the after-taste. Nice.
