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.

I like the regular when fresh. Going in to Delirium with friends late one night ordering 5 bottles of this 15’ batch was a shock. Old hops and alcohol. No sign of even reasonably newer hops. Dusty and toffeeish - completely undrinkable this year. Wauw!

Draught @ In de Wildeman. Aroma has soapy citrus, some grassy hops and mild fruit candy tones. Flavour has strong hoppy tones, grass, minerals, some peaches, apricot and mild menthol notes. Did not expect this kind of aggressive hops here. Nice, although a bit too sweet and stuffy. Refreshing.
