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. Courtesy of Countbeer. Pours a clear amber with a creamy, beige head. Sweet caramellish nose with a perfumy touch. Rich malty and toffeeish body. Gets a little cloying as there’s very little hops for balance. 150413

0.33l bottle. This is a bright cleat golden one with a huuuge and what I call everlasting almost fluffy just off-white head. Looks really nice in the glass, and the aroma? It immediately reminds me of a woody white wine! Green acidic and alcoholic grapes at first, but after a while when the head settles down a bit it becomes more a tripel. Lovely Belgian yeast and light candied sugar dominates. Some faint apply-fruitiness in the background. It's above average on the carbonation and gliding oily on the mouthfeel. Sharp Belgian flavors. You notice the alcohol - especially in the extreme heated sharp and warming aftertaste. More of this green slightly sour apples and light candied sugar. The finish has a mild metallic and grainy touch. Yeah, a nice classic tripel indeed. 07.02.2013

Flaske fra polet: tårnhøjt, hvitt skum. Klar&gylden. Aroma av stikkelsbær og rips. Medium munnfylde og overraskende tørr smak og ettermak. Lite sødme for en tripel, men det gjør den på en måte mer lettdrikkelig. Dog ingen benchmark.

Bottle. Pours slightly hazy copper brown with airy light tan head. Clear aroma of malt and caramel. Sweet, malty taste, giving way to slughtly sourish, fruity notes. Dryish finish. Rich carbonation. A rather anonymous Dubbelbut definitely drinkable.
