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.

Smakeloze schuimkraag. Bruin/robijnkleurige bock met weinig body. Zelfs wat waterig. Smaak is kruidig,zoet. Jammer had een goed biertje kunnen wezen als deze maar een Vollere smaak en body had gehad

Bottle. Hazy orange with a white head that soon fades. Wheaty aroma with lemon, vanilla and herbs. Very subdued spices, a bit of clove. Sweet with a modest citrus tang, gentle bitterness, some herbal notes.. There _are_ some subtle things going on here, but without that punchy refreshing quality there’s not a lot of point.

Bottle. Hazy red body, medium dissipating beige head. Nose of toffee, dense breads, and spice. Dryish body, with toast, prune, toffee, and yeast. Plain and boring after a few sips. But there are so many more to go.

Catch up rating from notes, 2012: Bottle picked up in Bruge. Poured into a tulip, lightly hazed golden body with a big, thick, creamy head. Aroma is sweet and grassy, Belgian yeast notes, slight savory scent as well. Taste brings the buttery malts and yeast, light fruit sweetness and a gentle hop presence. Feels great, thick and slippery, without being too boozy. Well done tripel.

Sampled from a 750 ml corked brown bottle this beer poured an orange-amber color with a huge fluffy soapy orange-white head that lingered and left a bit of lacing. The aroma was sweet and tangy orange, pear, bread and honey. The flavor was sweet and tangy table sugar, candied pears, orange, bread, honey, pepper and a had a faint medicinal undertone. The finish was medium length tang honey, sugar, pear, orange and bread. Moderately full bodied. Solid.
