GULDEN DRAAK BELGIAN ALE draft beer tap handle. Belgium. 1986. Part of the Global Beer Network. Using precious hops and unique yeast strains to produce a living beer with extended flavour evolution. Thanks to the GBN a few of these have been seen in the states.Belgian Tripel. Strong, deep red, rich. 10.5% ABV. It uses a secondary wine yeast in the brewing process along with barley, plums, cherries, brown sugar but still leaves a bitter after taste.Tap is listed as used. It remains in excellent condition but shows some wrinkles on the back of the wings from age. No paint loss. The rest of the tap looks pretty clean. Please view all 19 photos as they are the best part of the description. Created by Sculpture Concepts in 2004 as seen on the back wing. Now 20 years old. The Gulden Draak is done in gold with tiny white spots that make it appear hand stitched. White handle with black shield and red writing. An ugly beast I must say. Stands 10-1/2 inches tall. The Gulden Draak is the Dutch name for the Golden Dragon that sits atop the belfry in Ghent Belgium. The legend of the Gulden Draak says that it was first featured on the prow of a Norwegian Kings Viking ship on crusade across the oceans. Later the King offered it to the Emperor of Constantinople. Hundreds of years later the giant statue was transported by Count Baldwin the IX to the Belgium regions. In 1382 the statue was mounted above the belfry to protect the legal documents inside and standing for Freedom and Might. And as the Brew mastergazed upon this statue, he was thus so inspired to create his new ale and name it just that. The Gulden Draak! Tap handle has been turned and rotated so all sides are pictured.I try to take great photos and write accurate descriptions so you can judge for yourself.Please look carefully at the photos, this is the actual item you will receive.
