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.

Many thanks for this beer to tderoeck. Porzadnie i intensywnie nachmielone jest to piwo. Pachnie glownie natka pietruszki. Zlozista barwa na koniec nieco metnosci o piskowej barwie, ale tak blyskawicznie rosnaca piana jak spadajaca lawina z Mont Everestu jest zadko spotykana. Trwala i mocno oblepia szklo. Smak mocno goryczkowe, chmielenie jest tu podobne do chmielenia pilsow niemieckich i czeskich. Bardzo wytrawne, zupelnie nie slodkie i malo slodowe. Perfekcja niemal.

Bouteille de 750 ml du Canada Craft Beer Club. Au premier nez, une perception de levure fruitée avec notes de gomme baloune, vanille, de banane. Ça se développe en notes de foin et d’herbes fraiches. D’apparence dorée et floue, avec une bonne mousse crémeuse qui persiste plus d’une minute. L’entrée de bouche se veut piquante et effervescente, avec une finale herbacée assez intense qui se prolonge en arrière bouche. Des notes de poivre, de gomme baloune, de banane en petit dosage subtil; mais surtout une amertume herbacée intense aux accents de persil. Fruitée, douce, délicate, tout en subtilité, voila les caractéristique de cette excellente bière.

Bottle, 11C. Almost bright gold with a large white head that lasts well. Aroma of the meadow, under-ripe nectarines, oranges, crackers. Light bodied, high carbonation is maybe a bit too high for me (and better - creamier - after a swirl). Fruity and bittersweet with crackers verging on biscuit, oranges, nectarines, the meadow. Some tropical bubblegum, a touch of menthol. Doesn’t come across as as bitter as XX and is confusingly both softer and more pungent. Second glass is barely hazier than the first - the sludgy sediment is very co-operative. Stunning.

Light hazy golden with white foam on top. Powerful hop profile with some dry tea notes. Background honey and light cracker malt. Medium bodied with a lightly dry finish. Solid.

Bottle. Etre Gourmet. Pale yellow. Soft haze. Thin, dense, lasting, bright white head. Nose is big on the bready, sweet Belgian yeast. Flowery and peachy. Some mineral. Some chalkiness. Taste has a fleeting, bready sweetness. Then there’s a lot of grassy, leafy bitterness. Hop oily mouthfeel. Massaging and foamy at the same time. Long, grassy, leafy bitter finish. Missus found this too bitter. Result! More for me.
