XXX-Bitter is a variation on the existing XX-bitter, where we add an additional 50% more hops.

Taste: Full-bodied bitter beer. Despite its higher IBU-value, the large amount of aroma-hops makes this beer taste smoother than XX.

Draught @ Taproom De Ranke. Pours a slightly cloudy golden blonde, white head. Aroma is hoppy, herbal. Not massively bitter to taste, not as much as I expected given the high bitterness of XX bitter, perhaps bottle would be different? Excellent balanced bitterness all the same, harvest malt, really good.

"De Ranke XXX Bitter", Flasche von Jef - vielen Dank! - Dunkelgoldgelb, nur anfangs klar. - In der Nase sehr aromatische aber gebremste zitronige Hopfung, leicht mediterran-herbal, leise belgische Hefe, ein Hauch von Honig. - Antrunk füllig hellmalzig und intensiv zitronenschalig und grasig hopfenherb. Weich perlend rezent, vollmundig. Im Abgang dichte, ja wuchtige aber doch gedämpfte zitrusfruchtige Bittere. - Deutlich anders als das knackig bittere XX, konzentrierter hopfenaromatisch und doch dezent belgisch. Große Klasse!

Аромат спертый слегка, немного фруктовый, нотки сухофруктов. Цвет по началу золотистый, но позже со дна бутылки появляется хороший осадок. Пена просто потрясная, белая, кремовая, шикарная. Вкус разочаровывает, пустой, очень горький после глотка. Немного фруктов и все. В целом очень горький, не вкусный бельгийский эль. Честно не советую.

Nagy, tartós, hófehér hab, borostyán szín. Virágos, füves, kissé szénás, enyhén citrushéjas illat. Zöldfűszeres, komlós, enyhén citrushéjas ízvilág. Könnyű, erősen szénsavas, közepesen keserű. Kellemes, jól iható, az átlag golden aleknél komlósabb sör.

Bottle from Against The Grain. Hazy deep golden body with a few flecks floating beneath a white head. Low carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of dried grass and oak. Flavour of salted lemon and funk with a big, bitter finish. Medium body with a frothy mouthfeel. Soft fizz. Sharp and bitter.
