I am one of the greatest Belgian beer classics! Highly acclaimed and recognised from all over the world. With a recipe unchanged since 1679, I'm a refined and complex Belgian ale brewed with just three cereals – barley, wheat, and oats.
I was commercially produced by the Bosteels Brewery and launched to the public for the first time in 1996. Since then, I've been gaining accolades worldwide including emerging as Champion at the 2008 World Beer Awards, which led to demand exceeding supply.
I pour bright gold capped by a creamy head and breathes vanilla, banana yeast, and herbaceous hops. My vibrant and lively flavour profile is repeated on a soft, creamy palate with lemony fruits, bready malts and hints of spice. I'm a timeless beer with an embodiment of my brewers relentless pursuit of beauty.

Founded over 200 years ago in 1791, Bosteels Brewery was family-owned and operated by seven generations of brewers in the Bosteels family. The brewery is a shining example of the historic brewing scene in Belgium, as well as Belgian brewer's singular focus on producing only a few specific beers with the most exacting methods. Bosteels offers only three beers that they have developed to perfection, and each of these beers has its own fascinating backstory and striking flavour profiles that keep discerning drinkers coming back for more.
