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"

330mL, best by Feb 09. Golden-colored with quarter-inch yeast chunks motoring about, and a humongous head that settles to a lasting foam ring. Aroma is honey, malt, grapes, apples and alcohol. Flavor is bubblegum and malt on front with an undercurrent of dry tingly hops and yeast. Finish brings in the dryish fruit and alcohol notes. Palate is light-medium and tingly. The alcohol seems pretty noticeable for 6% and I usually don’t like that, but it seems to provide some nice flavor balancing for this beer.

Bottle, a clear amber with a large foamy white head. A light aroma, a bit sour. Some malt characters, but quite astringent, smoothness in the dry finish.

Bottle sampled with Beerded_one. Pours golden with a large white head. Aroma of sweet malts, citrus, fruit, and slight hops. Flavor is sweet upfront, citrus, fruit, lively carbonation, bittering hops in the finish. Good body, good brew.

Clear golden appearance. Aroma is fairly clean, malty with a mild peppery spice. Cleanish malt palate, light dry oatmeal biscuit flavor and hints of citrussy orange.

330 ml bottle. Slightly hazy golden body with a small white head. Aroma is light fruity and spicy. The flavor is light, refreshing malty with a spicy and fruity touch. Medium body and rather short finish. Drinkable but a bit anonymous and ordinary for my liking.

Yellow with tons of big suspended floaties. Thin white head. Spicy malty aroma. Taste is spicy, fruity a bit of lemon zest and musty.

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.

I walked by a dry-cleaners at 3:00 in the morning and there was a sign on the door that said, "Sorry, We Are Closed." You don’t need to be sorry. It’s 3:00 in the morning, and you’re a dry-cleaner... it would be ridiculous for me to expect you to be open.
