Brouwerij De Ranke - Pere Noel (750ml)

Pre-Order: Shipping Mid-November
 
A wonderfully unconventional Christmas beer from Belgium's renowned De Ranke brewery, Père Noël breaks with festive tradition by swapping the usual rich sweetness for bold hop bitterness and beautifully balanced complexity.
 
Pouring a deep copper-amber with a generous, creamy off-white head, this distinctive winter ale offers enticing aromas of toasted malt, caramel, fresh herbs and delicate floral hops. The flavour combines layers of biscuit, lightly toasted bread and subtle caramel sweetness with earthy, peppery spice and a distinctive hint of liquorice.
 
Generously hopped with Brewers Gold and Hallertau Mittelfrüh, Père Noël delivers a pronounced herbal, floral bitterness that perfectly balances its warming malt character. Medium-bodied with lively carbonation, it finishes remarkably dry, with lingering notes of spice, liquorice and a satisfyingly assertive bitterness.
 
A refreshing alternative to traditional Christmas ales and a superb festive treat for lovers of characterful Belgian beer.
