Anker, Gouden Carolus Classic
Gouden Carolus Classic, first colour of the "Great to Beer a Belgian" tri-colour, is the base of the series.
In an old chronicle of Mechelen we read that this emperor’s beer, named with reference to the golden coins of emperor Charles, was mainly drunk at fox hunts because “it fired both rider and steed with such enthusiasm for galloping that the hunt always took place in the best possible atmosphere”.
“Het Anker” Brewery still brews “The Emperor’s Beer” which is of guaranteed top fermentation and bottle conditioning following traditional methods. Gouden Carolus has unlimited storage (it even improves with age) and will charm you with its warm coppery colour and its rich bouquet. Ideally, serve at 8-10°C .
Enjoy Gouden Carolus Classic at leisure. The true connoisseur drinks it in small sips to enjoy it fully.
