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. pours hazy golden with quickly disappearing white head. Lots of floating sediments. Aroma has notes of Belgian yeast, grainy and some fruits. Taste, yeasty, some malts, light fruits sweetness almost banana putting it right under an abbey style. Finish of light bitterness, with some spices felt on the palate and good bubbly carbonation mouthfeel. Disappointed by the overall palate.

330ml bottle at Novare Res. Pours a golden cloudy with a big frothy head. Aroma is light and foofy, like flowers, mint, and grass. Flavors are light also, just citrus, grassy, and yeasty. Subtle caramelly note in the finish. Smooth and soft in the mouth with a slight sting on the palate.

Draught @ the brewery. Hazy orange to yellow beer with a large white head. The aroma is quite hoppy and spicy. Coriander and orange peel are quite obvious, also some dried fruits in the finish. The flavor is mellow, medium bitter and it has some sweetness on dried fruits, The palate is very smooth, soft and medium bodied. Very easy to drink.

11.2 oz bottle. Pours a yellow color with a foamy white head. Aroma is citrus and yeast. Flavor is alright, but there are too many floaties in the beer for my taste.
