Goeie Goud

Tap to rate

A sunny blond brewed with marigold: floral in aroma and flavour, lightly bitter, with a grassy finish. Five malts and Saaz hops carry it at 4.9% ABV. Marigold went into beer long ago for its gentle bitterness and colour, and this recipe keeps that light-refresher spirit while staying proper craft beer.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with delicate floral notes from the marigold, creating a distinctive and gentle aromatic signature. Noble Saaz hops contribute a subtle herbal and slightly grassy character that sits beneath the florality. A touch of soft malt sweetness rounds out the bouquet without dominating, keeping the overall impression fresh and inviting.

◐ Taste

The palate opens smoothly with a light malty sweetness and the distinctive floral character that defines this beer. Mid-palate brings gentle bitterness and grassy notes from the Saaz hops, well-integrated and restrained at 15 IBU. The five-malt base provides enough body to carry the flavours without heaviness, creating a refreshing and balanced experience.
