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.

Golden color with big white head. Aroma is fruit esters, banana, tropical fruits, spices. Taste is lots of more fruits and heavily bitter. Not as aggressive as many other Belgian Ales. Very nice!

From tap at Au Soleil, Brussels, 16.02.15. Hazy straw colour. Hoppy aroma of tropical fruits, citrus and banan. Similar taste with bitter grapefruit. Refreshing and interesting.

Bottle poured. Pours a sparkly gold color with a short fizz head. Really dry belgian beer here, with some white grape, and light lemon flavor. Has some light spice to it as well. I’m usually not a big fan of the super dry beers, but this one makes it work really well. Crisp finish. Fun stuff. Glad I tried this.

Flasche (33 cl) von Grebhan’s, Bremen. - Helles Orangegelb, trüb, enorme Schaumbildung. - In der Nase knackig scharfer grasig-harziger Hopfen, dahinter obergärige belgische Hefe. - Im Antrunk enorm frisch und scharf bitter, ein wenig fruchtig-säuerlich (Pampelmusenschale). Schmeckt so wie eine Handvoll Hopfenpellets riecht. SEHR bitter. Trotzdem ist noch etwas Platz für helles, leicht crackerartiges Malz. Unerwartet trocken, was den Genuß noch steigert. Im Abgang enorm starke, lang anhaltende und sehr aromatische Hopfenbittere. - Großartiges Bier, das die ganze Kraft und Fülle des Hopfens einfängt. Eine Ausnahmeerscheinung unter den belgischen Bieren.

Bottle at home. Has a slightly hazy straw colour with a big, soap-like, white head. The aroma is a little sweet with citrus, Belgian yeast, mowed grass, spices, wet hay and some smoke (!). The flavour has more Belgian yeast, citrus, hay and grassy hops. Has a slick mouth feel, and a solid but balanced bitterness. A great classic Belgian with a nice bitterness. A little strange with the smoke in the aroma (off-flavour?).

Hazy golden color with a fine white head. Citric hoppy, herbal and fruity aroma. What a delicious taste in that little bottle. Citric hoppy, fruity, some yeast and a nice sweet malty background. Wonderful!

750ml bottle. Beermerchants.com. Hazy, dark yellow. Bubbly, white head, with a glossy top. Aroma is pale, grainy malts. Belgian yeast. Lemon zest. Green hop. Taste is dry, turning full on, zesty bitter. Crisp, fresh palate. Some oiliness. Finishes a little dry, and long, herby bitter.
