I am one of the greatest Belgian beer classics, celebrated and recognized worldwide. With an unchanged recipe dating back to 1679, I am a testament to the rich brewing heritage. Crafted by the renowned Bosteels Brewery, I am a refined and complex Belgian ale brewed with three cereals—barley, wheat, and oats.
Since my first introduction to the public in 1996, I have captured the hearts and palates of beer enthusiasts everywhere. Over the years, I have earned prestigious accolades, including the Champion title at the 2008 World Beer Awards. Such recognition led to a surge in demand, as my exceptional quality exceeded supply.
As you pour me into your glass, observe my radiant, bright gold hue crowned with a creamy head. Inhale deeply and be enveloped by the enticing aromas of vanilla, banana yeast, and herbaceous hops. Each sip reveals a vibrant and lively flavor profile, offering notes of lemony fruits, bready malts, and delicate hints of spice.
I am the embodiment of the Bosteels Brewery's relentless pursuit of brewing perfection—a timeless beer that embodies beauty, tradition, and exceptional craftsmanship.

Founded over 200 years ago by Jean-Baptist Bosteels in 1791, Bosteels Brewery continued to be led by 7 generations of dedicated brewers in the Bosteels family. The brewery is a shining example of the historic brewing scene in Belgium, and also showcases the passion the family has for brewing its beers to perfection.
