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.

Sample tap. Cloudy orange yellow with a creamy head. Vanilla, grapefruit, mango, wheat, resin, coriander, herbs, Belgian yeast. Dry zesty hoppy bitterness, some fruity sweetness. Medium to full bodied, oily, oily texture, lively carbonated, dry zesty hoppy bitter finish. Very crisp hoppy Belgian Pale, not very different to the XX Bitter though, maybe more hop bitterness.

Bottle shared by Levi, thanks! Pours a clear gold with a white head that dissipates slowly to the edges. Aroma has grass and a bit of pine with some Belgian yeast and a straw backbone. Flavor has lots of grass and hay with a hint of pine and light grain supporting.

Bottle at Pivní zastávka, thanks to... not sure who opened it but thanks! Golden body, white head. Oaky, flowery, herbal, very hoppy aroma. Lean taste, herbal, flowery, dusty, sweetish, vaguely fruity, heading into a dry bitterish finish. Shame about the dustiness, this is very tasty otherwise!

Smell-weak hops, malt. Foam- thin, hops, bitter tones. Head is large, and white in color. Sticks. Appearance- generic bottle cap, simple label, will not round up. Clear yellow-amber color, medium carbonation. From - pint Taste- malt, hops, weak bitter tones, faint citrus. Nothing too special actually. Probably not the style for me.

Fles 75cl. Donkergeel bier met mooie stevige schuimkraag die lang blijft staan. Smaak is bitter hoppig en fruitig met iets van citrus, wat grastonen en een heel klein beetje zoet wat de smaak afmaakt. Heel goed bier.

Just your average belgian pale blonde thing, but with more hops thrown in. Does get a bit bitter, which works very well for these kind of beers, but it could do with more, and maybe some brightness. Not memorable, feels a bit muddled.

75cl bottle. Poured unclear golden color. Fairly smooth with peaches, citrus fruits, hops. Very good drinkability. Light to medium bodied.
