Hostia

◎ Appearance

Deep amber to copper hue with excellent clarity and a rich, persistent head that clings to the glass with fine lacing. Moderate carbonation presents itself through steady streams of small bubbles rising through the body.

◌ Aroma

Complex malt-forward nose with prominent notes of bread crust and subtle spice from the yeast. Stone fruit esters emerge alongside gentle notes of caramel and dried fig, creating an inviting, layered bouquet.

◐ Taste

Full-bodied entry with rounded sweetness from melanoidin-rich malts, balanced by a gentle, restrained bitterness at 25 IBU. Mid-palate displays bready complexity and subtle spice that resolves into a drying finish with lingering malt character.

◑ Finish

Medium-length finish with a gentle warming from the 7.5% ABV and a lingering dryness that prevents cloying sweetness. The aftertaste carries faint spice and bread notes into a clean, malty conclusion.
