Brugse Zot

Bottle from Phil l, via Beer Merchants. Thanks Phil! Pours pale copper with a lot of white foam that quickly settles away. Dry banana aroma with a pinch of salt, nice subtle green grass hops. Pleasant and understated tropical fruit esters (mango, banana), peppery carbonation, a little herbal bitterness. Nice easy-going beer, full of happy.

Bottle at Lord Rodney, Keighley. Refreshing with an instant burst of lemon that stays with the finish. Fresh, early-morning aroma. Very easy drinking. Good stuff.

Cask at the New Oxford in Salford, near Manchester, Belgian Beer Festival. Cloudy dark browny gold. Notes are rubbish as I was very drunk by this time. I liked it though, needs a re-rate.

Pours a dirty straw/gold color, cloudy with a an initially large fizzy white head, but it fades fairly quick. Aroma is quintessentially "Belgian ale" to me. Hay, lemon, dirt, grass, coriander, it’s got some things in common with wits and saisons, but it’s not as peculiar as either. Flavor is similar with dirt, grass, earth, old citrus, and slighty spicy yeast. Finishes with bread, lemon and lingering yeast pungency. Thin and fizzy mouthfeel. It’s pretty decent, almost like a maltier pilsner brewed with Belgian yeast. Maybe that’s exactly what this is...

750 ml 2007 bottle split in Duvel glass. clear golden with lasting white head and lace. Enticing and assertive spicy yeasty zesty floral aroma. Very mild honey sweetness with with apricot/cantaloupe fruitiness and spicy dry finish with a little carbo bite and some wateriness. Quaffable, almost to a fault. The flavor doesn’t quite live up to the aroma. But still, very good. I could drink this all night.

On tap at the Muddy Pig in St. Paul . Aroma malt and yeast. Light spicey and yeast. Nice summer beer.

Savannah, Ga. - Habersham Beverage Warehouse - 11.2 oz bottle. Pours a murky medium dark orange with a thin, but long lasting white beady head. Fruity aroma with some prune-like accents. Flavor has some of the same pruney accents, with some yeasty notes, a bit of candied sugar, and kind of an unpleasant stale taste. Moderately thick mouthfeel. Middle of the road Belgian.

Cloudy golden colour with a white head. Sweet malty, light grainy aroma with fruity and yeasty notes. Malty, sweet flavor with fruity and floral notes.
