Commercial Description:
Bottle; Unfiltered.
In 2005 Xavier Vanneste, son of Mrs Véronique Maes, renovated and restarted the old brewery which had been in the family since 1856. He launched Brugse Zot, a new beer with a unique recipe. Today Brugse Zot is the only beer brewed in Bruges’ town centre!
The people of Bruges are known as "Brugse Zotten" (Bruges Fools), also known as "Brugse Jonckers"

This has a fresh, sharp taste. The body is very thin and watery. It’s a beer which is easy to drink but just lacks a full flavour.

Sampled from an 11.2 oz brown bottle this beer poured a clear pale golden color with a medium sized white head. The aroma was dry, musty and lightly tangy. The flavor was dryish, lightly tangy, a bit bready and had hints of citrus. Overall fairly bland an uninspired.

Have had both in bottle and at the brewery. A fairly decent ale. Unlike the classic Belgians, it doesn’t hit you the same way because it is not remarkable. Still, it’s good enough that we bought a couple glasses.

Have it on tap in De Halve Mann, After visiting the brewery we had our belgium style meat with lovely ale. Dark Portugal colour, Easy driing and having amberish and fruity scent at first. Finish is not to much such a Nice beer.

Bruges-07. I tried this one right at the brewery in Bruges. Aroma of fruity esthers. Pour was a light orange with nice sediment and a thick bubbly 2 finger head. Taste was bitingly carbonated with some spiciness present. An average belgian ale.

A so so Belgian. Aroma of fruity esthers. Pour was a beautiful light orange with nice sediment and a thick bubbly 2 finger head. Taste was bitingly carbonated with some spiciness present. Heavy grass in the taste. Some malt in there as well but that carbonation rules the beer. Some mustiness is noticeable as well. Pretty average.
