UPDATED: NOV 15, 2023 A variariation of the regular XX bitter, but with 50% extra hops (Brewers Gold, Hallertau Mittelfrüh)! On the nose, white bread, floral hops, notes of pear and stone fruits. Hazy golden pour, frothy head, large and with a very high retention, and its cloudy laces. Its bitterness is growing, from moderate on the attack to high in the the after taste, bready malts and hop-driven body, with floral notes and growing bitterness. Yeasty esters of pear and yellow fruits. Light body, high carbonation, easy to drink. A lovely drop, easy to drink before or during a meal, light and refreshing bitter goodness.

UPDATED: SEP 30, 2023 750ml bottle from Purvis Beer, Melbourne. A large rocky fluffy head crowns a clear golden body. Herbal grassy notes on the nose and tongue, dry bitter finish, not unlike a Duvel. Quite gassy on the palate, medium-full bodied. Pretty good all round.

UPDATED: MAR 24, 2023 Golden, slightly hazy, with a white head that dilapidates quickly. Hoppy aroma and taste. However, as the name suggests, taste is mainly bitter, on a decent level. Bitter palate lasts for a while.
