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"

Bottle. Yellow, clear with a medium white head. Aroma is yeast, clover, malt sweetness, banana and some alcohol. Flavour is green apples, banana with slightly bitter finish. Very refreshing and pleasant, but a little ordinary.

Pours a transparent golden with some suspended yeast particles and a large airy, clingy, pillowy white head. Sweet bready biscuity Belgian malty aroma has some peppery coriander notes and a touch of green European hops. Starts with some light flowery sweetness, foamy carbonation and a drier, slightly metallic finish. An ok Belgian ale, but I’d like to see a little more body and flavor in it.

Bottle from Ledgers; BB Feb 09; Nose of banana esters, spices, caramel and yeast; clear darl gold with a small off white head; flavor with caramel, light fruitiness, spices, and some background hop bitterness, the mild hops lasting into a very tiny bitter finish!

Fairly disappointing, all fluffly and light without much aroma or flavor. It’s a slightly hazed gold with a foamy head. It smells of yeast and a very light, pale malt. The flavor has a little citric tartness added to it and it has a dry finish. Whoopty-doo.
