THE LEGENDARY
GOLDEN DRAGON

The legend of the dragon is ancient. The mythical creature’s journey begins in northern Scandinavia, on the prow of a Viking ship and, after many distant journeys, ends at the top of Ghent’s Belfry.

Gulden Draak beers have been traditionally brewed with noble hops and unique yeast varieties since 1986. Our brewers master the processes of top fermentation, natural lagering and secondary fermentation with expert mastery. Gulden Draak is a living beer and has a long-lasting flavor evolution. The brewing process consists of several stages where there is a constant need for attention, quality and passion for the beer.

Gulden Draak
Cuvée Prestige

For our exceptional Cuvée Prestige, we allow the Gulden Draak Classic to continue aging in specially selected barrels after lagering. After aging, the beer undergoes its classic secondary fermentation with the unique and proprietary wine yeast, which will ensure a perfect balance. We can therefore safely speak here of an extra refined barleywine, a delicious and original tasting beer to be enjoyed in moderation.

Gulden Draak Brewmaster is an ode by the sixth generation master brewer to the previous generations of brewers of the Van Steenberge brewery, to the craftsmanship of our traditional brewing art and in particular to the fifth generation brewer: Jozef Van Steenberge, who, around the year 1975, immersed himself in specialty beers, combined with the experiments of the new “Craft beer world.

Gulden Draak 9000 Quadruple – 75cl

The unsurpassed Gulden Draak Classic as a dark triple of 10.5% alcohol received a strong addition after 25 years of ever-growing success, the Gulden Draak 9000 Quadruple.

The particularly rich and complex flavor palette and full head of foam is also found in the Gulden Draak 9000 Quadruple. However, the sweet notes of caramel remain reserved for the Gulden Draak Classic.

Gulden Draak Quadruple Family
The new recipe based on 4 times more malt gives the Gulden Draak 9000 Quadruple a deep golden amber color and a slightly fruity aroma. Together with the soft and slightly sweet taste, this creates a beautifully rounded bouquet with notes of dried fruit.

Like the other specialty beers from Brewery Van Steenberge, Gulden Draak 9000 Quadruple is a top-fermented beer with secondary fermentation. A wine yeast is used for secondary fermentation, which not only contributes to the incomparable taste but also ensures years of shelf life with flavor evolution.

Gulden Draak Classic – 1,5l

With such an imposing symbol that has endured for more than six centuries, comes an equally impressive beer. As the dragon adorns the top of the city, Gulden Draak has been among the world’s top beers for years. It is a dark tripel, which in itself makes it an exceptional beer, but its complex flavor with notes of caramel, roasted malt and coffee makes it unique.
In short, the beer is worthy of its name.

A wine yeast is used for secondary fermentation, which determines the incomparable taste and ensures the long-term evolution of taste (= living beer). The older the beer gets, the more aroma it acquires and the fuller the flavor and color become.

So it is well worth keeping a few large bottles and letting them age over many years.

Style	Dark barley wine, ruby red tripel.
Appearance	Coppery brown with a ruby glow. Stable white head.
Flavor	Malty-sweet undertone. dried fruits (figs) and a mild spicy touch (cloves).

Gulden Draak Smoked – 33cl

The creation of Gulden Draak Smoked harkens back to the time-honored tradition of drying malt: smoking malt. This provided a smoky touch to the malt which you had in the beer afterwards. This typical smoke flavor was lost over the years as drying techniques for the malt were made significantly more efficient.

Portrait adjusted right format
The use of smoked malt combined with Brewery Van Steenberge’s specialty gives a spectacular result: heavy quality high-fermentation beer with secondary fermentation in the bottle, christened as the Gulden Draak Smoked. The smoked malt in the recipe creates a velvety, roasted flavor in the beer.

Style	Smoked beer.
Appearance	Soft brown with an intense ruby glow. Fine head of foam, very stable.
Flavor	Caramel, candy sugar, dark fruit, yeast and alcohol. A very broad and beautiful sweet base to carry the gently smoky aromas.
Taste	Sweet attack, caramel, malt, raisins, candy sugar, yeast and alcohol warming. A somewhat smoky note in the finish. Bacon.
Ingredients	Water, barley malt, sugar, hops, yeast and caramel.
