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 at De Republiek Brugge. Hazy red pink colour lasting pink head. Artificial red fruit aroma. More of the same in the mouth. Raspberry jam flavour. Light cherry flavour. But it is like the jam in a Victoria sponge cake. Bit too sweet. Fun but ultimately it's some fruit syrup with a light wheat beer behind it.
