Brigand is a strong blonde beer that is re-fermented in the bottle. The pale blonde colour is eye-catching thanks to the use of unmalted wheat, pale malt and pils malt. Brigand has a slightly malty taste with accents of spices and hops in the finish.

Brewed since 1980. 20° plato.

Optisch sattes Gold im Glas, ordentlich Schaum. In der Nase hefig, floral, würzig. Im Trunk setzt sich fort, blumig, dezent alkoholisch, passt.

.75L bottle. Just kind of your average fruity spicy belgian ale - nothing to get excited about here.

Flowery sweet, aroma of ripe (dark) fruits, candy. Light spicyness (coriander?). This is an easily drinkable beer despite its hefty alcohol content. It actually caught me by surprise. Don’t let the lame faux Robin Hood archer dude picture on the bottle turn you off, this is a nice beer if you enjoy sweet Belgian strong ales.

Крепкий эль по вкусу и самой бутылки напоминает пиво Duvel. Не заметил какого то специфического вкуса. Среднее пиво для ужина. Не питкое

Tap at La Bota, Leiden:Goldenhazy strong ale like the famous Duvel, but much sweeter and not so heavily carbonated like its famous counterpart.

En tulipa, color dorado pálido, espuma blanca cremosa y abundante de excelente retención y mucho residuo. Aroma bastante cautivador a levadura, malta, fruta madura, almíbar, algo de miel... En boca tiene textura bastante sedosa, cálida y jugosa. Notas dulces de malta inundan el paladar en el primer trago, trayendo sensaciones de una atractiva levadura belga, albaricoque maduro, peras, cereal...El retrogusto es moderadamente amargo con un ligero toque de especias. Final muy cálido en la garganta. Por lo que he estado curioseando hay muchas opiniones acerca de esta cerveza, desde los que la hacen de menos y no la consideran suficientemente buena, hasta los que la reconocen como una muy buena aportación, yo diría que me hallo más bien en el grupo de estos últimos, me ha conquistado bastante la Brigand, muy rica y terriblemente disfrutable.
