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.

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.

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!

Love it so much. 50% more hops than XX but it's less bitter. Fruity, dry, slightly funky. Delightful. Easy to drink about 600ml but I definitely needed more water towards the end of the bottle 😆

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.
