Brouwerij De Ranke "XX Bitter" Belgian IPA, Belgium (330ml)
Review Date: 04/2009
This extraordinarily drinkable Belgian IPA is from Wevelgem in West Flanders - and I have been drinking it to celebrate the spring classics in Flanders - particularly the Ghent-Wevelgem bike race. It has a straw/golden color and a bubble train that would make tete de cuvee Champagne blush. The picture is completed by a gorgeous head of Belgian lace that I could imagine floating a quarter on top of. Unlike the new world style of IPA, this robustly hoppy and refreshing ale has balance. Get some before I drink them all!

Notes
This doubly extra bitter beer is strong and well, bitter, as the name promises. It is made with pale pilsner malt and gets a lot of its punch from a great deal of hops, in particular brewers gold and hallertau hops. Don't be afraid of the bitter style. This beer goes exceptionally well with food, and while this is an acquired taste, it quickly becomes addictive!
