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"

Ober (2763) - Bommelerwaard, - APR 6, 2008
UPDATED: JUL 29, 2008 A golden, little hazy colored beer, with a nice white head. An aroma of some grains, sweet malt and fruits. The taste is sweet, with a little citrus and little bitterness. A nice beer for a warm summer day.

On tap at De Torre, Bruges. Amber with a decent head. Bitter and dry with a dirty metallic aroma. Heavy and not overly drinkable.

Mr_Vogel (54) - NETHERLANDS - MAY 12, 2013
Bottle. Pours golden, good foamy head. Smells of malts, fruits and hops. Taste starts sweet, a good bit of bitter kicks in and finishes sweet-ish, more fruity and malts. Nice balance between sweet and hoppy bitter.

Good balanced beer. Slightly fruity with a medium dry bitter hop in it with a light sweet finish. It’s uncommon that the sweetness breaks through a hoppy (dry) finish, it’s usually the other way around, but i kinda like it.

Biere rafraichissante, mais sans réelle interet avec une trop forte amertume.

Really nice refreshing and hoppy taste to start but the sweetness kills it at the end.

R2k2 (93) - NETHERLANDS - MAY 3, 2013
Slightly dark yellow, almost lager-colored beer, but the aroma tells otherwise. No sign of hop or barley, just the subtile touch of alcohol. Flat, bitter taste with a little aftertaste. Personally, i don’t think it’s very special. iets donkergeel, maar bijna pilskleurig bier, maar het aroma verraad anders. Geen hop of mout, alleen de lichte geur van alcohol. Platte, bittere smaak met een lichte nasmaak. Persoonlijk vind ik hem niet zo bijzonder.

found on tap in Amsterdam. Poured hazy, pale yellow, Only had the one beer as it was late and we were moving on... nonetheless I’d be happy to re-acquaint myself with this.

Fris bier met veel smaak, stevige schuimkraag. Drinkt makkelijk weg maar vergis je niet, 6%.

Draught @ Det Bette Ølhus, Ålbæk
Pours clear golden with a white head. Aroma has notes of malt, yeast and dried fruits. Taste is medium sweet and light to medium bitter with a long slightly malty, yeast and fruity finish. Body is medium, texture is thin to oily, carbonation is soft.
