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"

GO RUB ZEST ! Nice pale colour on pouring with a frothy white head. Looked fairly lagery, and yet the smell promised much with a really fruity bouquet. The first taste was really mild in comparison, with a pale flavour that threatened to explode at times but remained in anonymity. The odd bit of citrus wasnt enough to turn this beer into anything but an average Belgian blonde.

On tap. Slightly hazy brown pour with a tiny white head. Musty, yeasty aroma. Flavor is slightly sour, tangy malt. Buttery mouthfeel with a cask-like smoothness. Very good.

On tap at the Chicken In in Brugge, Belgium. Great restaurant too! Pours in a hazy yellow color. Frothy head that disolves fast. A bit like an IPA with some hops but not as intense. Mix a lighter IPA and the typical Belgian Ales and you’ve got this guy.
