This week, we start with the oldest brewery of the Beery Christmas breweries: Bosteels! The bi-centenary brewery gives us the pleasure of brewing an exclusive beer for us, inspired by one of their prize-winning recipes from the 50s. Let's go vintage!

Poured into a glass, this Bostale will reveal a slightly amber and cloudy colour. On the nose, it is very herbaceous and earthy. These notes are revealed by the "late-hopping" which consists in adding hops at the end of boiling and which allows the release of all the hop aromas in the beer. You also have the well-malted side of bread, biscuit and straw at the same time. To all this is added a spicy touch, Belgian beer obliges, with coriander and a hint of cloves.

On the palate, the alcohol is present and is expressed in a spicy blend of white pepper, coriander and cloves with a base of straw and honey for a light finish, still spicy, but also herbaceous. This is a Belgian Pale Ale that will delight lovers of the style and those who discover it!
