De Ranke Guldenberg
What the brewers say
“A full-bodied abbey beer that balances between sweet and bitter.”
What our panel thought
“Impressive lacing with a velvety head. Strong spicy, peppery notes with an earthy backbone. Soft peach and apricot as it warms with a very pleasant subdued bitterness. Mouthfeel is very soft and velvety.”
What our editors thought
“Bubblegum esters and a sweet flower nectar sit over sawn log and bread crust. In the sip, a quirky soft bitterness suggests a bit of oxidation, allowing some funky tropical-fruit notes to push through, but at the expense of definition.”
