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.

Bière 75 cl trouvée chez van Uxem à Comines. Robe Dorée. Légèrement trouble, avec pas mal de dépôt pour le dernier verre, c'est une bière non filtrée. Mousse qui dure un peu. Nez sur les céréales et le houblon. Au goût on ressent avant tout l'amertume. Bière assez courte en bouche, assez houblonnée et amère mais peu aromatique et complexe ce qui la rend un peu limitée. Une bière agréable à boire, sans être hors du commun.

Glowing orange with a tall white head. A bold combo of bright hops and hot spice. Good tropical fruit notes (pineapple, citrus) and coriander with some biscuit malt. Even though I can guarantee this bottle was not transported here properly it still retains it's delicious profile. Impressive.

Bottle from Hogs Back Brewery. Low key malty but hoppy aroma. Cloudy amber. Fluffy white head. Hoppy. Spicy. Thin but slick with a soft fizzy carbonation. Dry finish. Really enjoyable hoppy stuff.

Brilliant white foamy head stayed on a hazy golden body. Minimal aroma of yeast & citrus. Medium bodied, airy in the mouth with a prickly back & clean aft. Very bitter tastes of lemon, pith, citrus & pine with a long tangy finish. So refreshing.....

bottiglia 33 cl, bel cappello di schiuma bianca fine persistente, color giallo torbido, al naso lieviti belgi spezie luppoli, in bocca malto pompelmo, carbonatazione forte, corpo leggero, amaro accentuato lungo nel finale. Nonostante solo i 6% ha una buona struttura. Bella amara, piacevole e si beve molto bene. 18.02.18

Bottle. Cloudy golden colour. Huge well-lacing white head. The nose is spicy due to hop and yeast. Additional floral & fruity notes. Cracker malt. Light to medium body. Medium bitter taste. Spicy noble hops. Fruit, meadow flowers. Very interestind as a proto-Belgian IPA. And tasty.

Bottle at Smokies Apparently I've tried almost everything they have here. Time to switch to Belgium. This beauty pours clear gold. Expected. And is quite bitter. Really unexpected! Like this is probably one of first belgians I had and tastes bitter. The yeasty part is in the house, but this show is indeed ruled by bitterness. Eyes opening.
