lively co2 resulting in a champagne like pour, not in a good way, maybe my bottle got shaken but i had foam to spare. when i finally got to the beer i had an unfiltered straw colored beer with fruity aroma, and a nice dry and bitter taste, unique beer for sure, good hot waether session i would think

Very good beer. Not your typical Belgium brew. This is strongly hopped and very dry. It was a pleasant surprise. Don’t pass on this one, worth a few sips...more than a few.

75cl bottle, best before 2016-03. Light golden troubled appearance with a lasting layer of foam. Kind of awkward floral aroma with citrusy and other pungnent notes; seems hoppy but not that appealing. Taste is indeed very hoppy, dry, rather crisp, citrusy and floral, with a powerful mouth effect; my tongue got its money’s worth! This intense hoppiness still leaves some place for the pleasant bready malts to express their flavors. Some salty and peppery notes also detectable, especially in that mouth dryness that the aftertaste leaves. I’m not totally overwhelmed but this is very good!

Little bit hazy yellow / light orange colored beer. Smell and taste nicely bitter, though not extreme. Decent carbo, medium body.

Man, this is my BEST EVER !
When I don’t know what to drink, I open my fridge and I pour an XX Bitter.
It’s always refreshing, surprising, dry, perfect...
I have no words for that one,
it is my best of all time... My church.

Poured from bottle golden blond with moderate white head and slight lacing. Aromas of citrus hops and some yeast. Tastes slightly sweet with a bold hop finish. A fine Belgian ale that is a little different from most.
3.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20 garthicus (2006) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - AUG 4, 2011
Appearance: hazy yellow with a small white head. Aroma: vanilla, grassy, hay, a little lemon rind, malt & yeast. Flavour: Grassy hops, lots of it, quite malty on the tongue, ever so slightly bitter with a toasty and grass finish. Nice.
