The Hopus Primeur is a special edition of the regular Hopus made with five varieties of hops. For the Primeur hops are used with maximum freshness and moreover a sixth variety is added during the dry hopping, to give the aroma its own hallmark. Every year, since 2013, a different variety has been used, the best kept secret of the brewery.

It is a nice Belgian ale with a good touch of hop, aromatic and sparkling, not so far from a Duvel regarding the taste, interesting, 05.11.17, tasting it at Bonfol, buying it in Paris, bootlegger or Place de l'Aligre

Aroma of citrus, floral hops (sorachi ace?), some spicy yeast. Flavour is fruity and hoppy, with light to medium bitterness in the aftertaste. Nice and refreshing hoppy Belgian ale.

Bottle from Biernavigatie. Aroma is floral hops, malt, yeast, fruity notes with citrus, touch of lemon, mild grass, very strong floral and a bit perfumed with a very slight herbal touch. Flavour is moderate to medium sweet and medium bitter. Comes with a hint of alcohol. Body is medium. Very enjoyable hoppy Belgian Ale.

0,33 bottle. Szép nagy fehér hab. Tiszta arany szín, üveg-címke ötletes, -szóval szép sör. Fűszeres, virágos, lekerekített szép friss illat. Minden a helyén eddig. Ízre gyantás, füves, kesernyés, picit gyümölcsös, citrusos, belga létére inkább komlós friss sör. Hab végig gyönyörű. Gyógyszeres - de kellemes lecsengés. Közepesen testes és szénsavas. A hozzáadott cukor ennek nem ártott, csak az alkoholon emelt. Belgák közt is a jobbak között, egy szép és keserű belga!

Nice big white foam. Pure golden color, glass label is ingenious, so nice beer. Spicy, floral, rounded beautiful fresh scent. Everything is in place so far. It tastes like a resinous, grassy, bitter, slightly fruity, citrus, Belgian hop-like beer. Foam all the way beautiful. Medicinal - but a pleasant finish. Moderately full-bodied and carbonated. The added sugar did no harm to this, it only raised it on alcohol. Among the Belgians, among the better, a beautiful and bitter Belgian!

Vroeger was Hopus wel tot met het shotglaasje voor de gist. Deze Hopus Primeur valt tegen. Heeft wel een licht, aangenaam cannabis smaakje.
