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 33 CL from artemb. Clear golden, off-white head. Aroma of pale fruit with tart notes, hints of higher alcohols. The taste is alcoholic sweetness, fusel, light fruity notes. Feels more like a malt likka. Bad.

Flaska från Beernavigator, 1,5 år gammal. Gyllengul klar med ett småbubblig skum som snabbt lägger sig. En trippel på den sötare delen av trippelspektrat. Söta maltsmaker med söta äpplen, apelsinblom och lite syltade apelsinskal och en ganska markerad apelsinskalsbeska som räddar balansen. En hel del alkoholvärme utan att alkoholen slår igenom nämnbart. Kanske inte toppklass men en hel del kvalité ändå.

Pours a completely cloudy pale yellow, topped with a small to medium white head, frothy and no real retention. Aroma dominated by citruses, along come also some spices. Taste starts sweet(ish), soury citruses later on and some spices in the finish. Light and easily drinkable.

Bottle, as Brugge Triple gruut. Rose gold with a white head. Unrefined but cheerful grainy aroma with some honey, orange peel, surprisingly mild spices. And so it tastes. Not all that sweet, alcohol is reasonably well hidden, bitter and just about dry enough at the end. Not very classy but OK.

F: white frothy but quick gone and forms thin film. C: hazy yellow orange. A: malt, banana, yeast, hint of earthy/cellar notes. T: malt, white sugar, green pepper, coriander, orange peels, citrus, nice grass bitterness, medium body and lively carbonation, typical Belgian tripel not very special but I think a little under ratted.
