The Brugse Zot and Straffe Hendrik beers are two of the brewery’s finest types of beers. Straffe Hendrik beer is filled with bitter ale while the Brugse Zot is rich in fruity flavor along with different types of malts and hoppy aromas.

Bottle. Color: Lightly hazy orange, large frothy white head. Aroma: Fruity notes of stone fruit and citrus, leathery Brett funk notes. Taste: Stable-like and leathery Brett funk, fruity stone fruit and citrus, nice green hop backbone. A little too much carbonation. Medium body, above average carbonation. Moderate tart and bitter, light sweetness. Dry-ish bittery finish. Ok overall.

0.75 L bottle; gift from my Belgian neighbours - Many thanks, Benjamin and Julie! opalescent golden colour, minimal ecru-ish white head; aroma of citrusy-lemony, grape, sour apple peel, some earthy, barnyard, moderate toffee, buttery and vinegar notes; taste is similar to the aroma with quite intensive hoppy bitterness, as well; really good one

Bottle at home, from HOTM online, 13/08/24. Clear golden copper with a good sized light beige covering. Nose is grass, herb, clove, stewed fruits, Belgian yeast esters, hedgerow. Taste comprises grass, stale bread, yeast esters, herb, light white peppery spice, stewed fruits. Medium to lighter body, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a fruit tang. Decent for an AF Belgian, obviously a bit thin and watered down, but pulls off the main characteristics well.
