Mug Bitter is a top fermented, amber-coloured beer of 5% ABY, made from pale malt and Caramalt 20 and richly hopped with Hallertau, Goldings and Challenger hops.

The beer's character is best expressed in the old saying: "Geen smaeck zo soet als 't Zeeuwse Bitter doet" (Nothing tastes as sweet as the Bitter from Zeeland).

Its hoppy and fruity aroma and well-balanced bittersweet flavour places this beer in a league of its own!

Mug Bitter ... Much Better!

Aroma of malt, slight fruitiness, hops. Flavour is malty and light hoppy, with a bitter finish. Not bad.

Tap at Bierfestival, Haarlem’13: Clear amber coloured brew with an decent fruity bitter taste, thirstquencher for the summer.

Best before 06/2012. Had beter geluisterd... Een score zou geen fairplay zijn, met 5% is het niet echt een bewaarbier. Carbonatie verdwenen, porto-achtige smaken, geoxideerd. Nog van de geboorte van de kleinste.

Pours a huge head. Aroma has hops, cinnamon and apple. Just a bit of sourness in the flavor. Very fruity, like fresh apple pie with nutmeg. Rather thin, with a bit of rubber in the aftertaste.

At de mug nijmegen, golden beer, small head. Aroma is some malt, some fruit. Taste is the same, very drinkable.

On tap at ’De Mug’ (Middelburg). Clear, amber with a medium large, dense, stable, tan head. Sweetish, spicy and minimally fruity aroma of caramel, honey, nuts and clove. Sweetish-malty, yeasty-spicy and slightly fruity taste of caramel, honey, nuts, clove and hints of citrus, followed by a medium long, yeasty-spicy and medium bitter finish. Medium body, slightly creamy mouthfeel, very soft carbonation. Nice!
