XX-bitter is our most bitter, high-fermenting beer. Despite its low alcohol content, it produces a very rich, long lasting, full flavour.

Taste: Very bitter but still balanced. Long-lasting, distinct hop taste.

hazy yellow colour, moderate sized off-white head; aroma of floral-herbal notes, bread, some citruses and coriander; taste is the same with intensive bitterness, which does not really fit to the body of the beer - would be better with a bit less intensive hoppyness

Tap at Moeder Lambic, 14th October 15. This looks the part and I love the De Ranke glassware. Clear straw yellow, slight head and lacing. Aroma yeasty fresh grass, slight funk. Taste is massive, great hop bitterness, with yeasty, fresh kicks. Long lingering bitterness. Great beer

Bottle from Mitsuya’s. Pours a slightly hazy medium gold with a medium sized white head that lingers. Very saison-like yeast nose with some lemon, citrus and grass. Medium to spritzy carbonation with a medium body. Some sweetness on the front but the bitterness kicks in on the back. Dry saison-like finish. This is basically a hopped up bitter saison. Great stuff!

Bottle from Against The Grain. Hazy golden/bronze body with a few flecks beneath a thin white head. Faint lacing. Aroma of dusty malt, lemon and green leaves. Flavour of pear drops, marzipan, apricot, bitter hops and faint spices. Dry, bitter finish. Medium body with a frothy mouthfeel. Lively fizz. Raw and bitter. Very nice.

330ml bottle. Slightly milky, golden colour with huge, frothy, fairly lasting, moderately lacing, white head. Grassy hoppy aroma with a slightly floral touch, yeasty hints of pollen, a minimally peppery spicy yeasty touch. Taste is bone dry, grassy bitter hoppy with mineral touch, mild yeasty overtones with a touch of pollen and white pepper. Nice and simple, a bit unilateral.
