Al naso arrivano caratteristiche di fruttato. L'intensità olfattiva è elevata e il modo in cui permane è sufficiente. Il mantello birroso superiore ha una buona tenuta. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. Il liquido è di aspetto velato. Bollicine medio-fini costituiscono anche la forma della frizzantezza, con carbonazione persistente ed insistita. Il colore è giallo dorato. Il corpo è pieno. L'amaro è intenso. La forza gustativa è elevata e la durata è buona. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di amaro. Il retrogusto è intenso. Sul palato si fermano sentori di miele, nocciola, frutta secca, un accenno di resinoso, agrumi, spezie, arancia amara, erbe aromatiche, frutta disidratata, prugna, vino rosso e marsala.

Bottle from Drankenhandel Leiden. Grassy and bitter with yeast, herbal hop, some malt. Long firm bitter finish, rather dry. Body is medium. Lovely stuff as always from De Ranke.

75cl Fles van Etre Gourmet. Licht mistig goudgele kleur, witte kraag. Eerste indruk is van een grassig Belgisch Blond, de ware aard komt naar boven als het bier wat opwarmt. Droog, bloem, bloemig/floraal, grassig, licht kruidig, fors bitter wat lang blijft hangen en opbouwt, licht moutig, licht aards, hint van citroensorbet. Lichte body, vol mondgevoel. Heerlijk spul.

Special variant on De Ranke’s classic XX Bitter (in existence since 1997 and justly regarded as a forerunner of IPA in Belgium) but dry-hopped with Brewer’s Gold, the hops used by founder Guido De Vos who is now retiring – hence this tribute to this pioneer in modern Belgian craft brewing. Eggshell-white, thick and frothy, clearly hops-enhanced, rocky, shred-lacing, firm head on a misty apricot blonde robe with ochre-ish hue. Aroma of fresh wormwood and mugwort leaves, dandelions, ‘witloof’, spice bread, grapefruit peel, moist white pepper, cheese rind, sheep’s sorrel, old ‘herbes de Provençe’, orange pith, dried cut flowers. Dry yet fruity, estery onset, unripe peach and hard pear notes, grapefruit flesh noticeable early on, medium carbonated with spice-bready and bread-crusty core, grainy but at the same time firm and bready enough to support an elaborate structure of herbal, drying, long, spicy hop bitterness, very thorough with lovely earthy and grapefruity edges – yet working perfectly with the malts and retaining a very high drinkability. Very classic De Ranke quality stamp here – XX Bitter revisited indeed, absolutely mouthwatering ‘Belgian bitter blond’. Loved it.

On tap at Taverna Ai Mastri d'Arme. cloudy golden with large lasting white head. Nice lasting bitterness, herbal, touch of fruit. So nice. Quite dry, medium carbonation. This is great!

Light hazy golden colour, white foam. Typical De Ranke nose: dry, grassy, herbal. Taste is bitter, grassy and hoppy with some malty sweetness. Great!
