Gember Goud

Tap to rate

Born from the sisters’ dream of a real ginger beer, and it took three years of brewing, testing and trying out to settle on this light pale ale. Ginger gives it a spicy twist and a spicy aftertaste, followed by a sparkling, fresh finish and a golden edge. The strength is 4.6%, and Gember Goud translates as Ginger Gold.

◐ Taste

Entry is light and refreshing, with ginger spice establishing itself immediately on the palate.

The spice lingers pleasantly without overwhelming, while citrus notes add complexity to the bitter profile.

Serve at 7–10°C

Cold enough to sharpen the hop aroma without numbing the palate. Around 7–9°C keeps the citrus and pine vivid without losing bitterness definition.

Pint glass

The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.

Drink fresh — hop aroma fades fast. Best within 3 months of canning or bottling.
