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 (750ml): Golden, cloudy, big and very stable rocky off-white head; distinctive - but still moderate - herbal-piney nose, yeast and a certain "belgian" fruitiness underneath; solid dry bitter flavour, medium bodied and soft; lingering piney finish, some yeast and some balancing pale malt detectable.Very good. Better than many " new" IPA’S...

Tap at Pravda Kiev. Cloudy golden, nice creamy head. Really big aroma - cocktail of ripe fruit and wild herbs. Light pale malts and fruit in the taste, a very solid and sudden wormwood bitter kick on the finish. Not very sophisticated, but drinks well.

On tap at Luppolo Station in Rome-Italy, on the day of the tap takeover. Cloudy golden pour, incredible white foam with drafts on the glass. Nose: spices, ripped fruit, noble hops blast! Mouth: oily hoppy notes, bitterness, round bitter feel with spicy notes. Yes! ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Blond with light haze. Aroma an flavour are less impactful that the XX version. This time it’s very light up front with very dry, floral hop coming through in the aftertaste.

Big bottle shared. Slight hazy light golden with big fluffy white head. Massive dank grassy hops, some lime and orange peel, soft caramel, light chicory. Super hoppy! Almost medium sweet and over medium bitter. Medium bodied. Hopped to hell and back, really like it.
