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.

Yellow/orange hazy colour, and thick head, disappearing in 3/4 minutes. Smells caramel and wheat, Taste caramel, cereal, probably more wheat, and some dry fruits, with a bitter finish, definetely. But the overall sensation is sweet. Full-bodied. Alcohol burn, not well hidden, but it doesn’t bother. A good one.

Bouteille 330ml. De couleur dorée et voilée. Nez de levures fruitées (agrumes, notes de pommes et de poires) et légèrement épicé (coriandre, notes de clou de girofle), de malt sucré (sucre bonbon et petites notes de caramel doux), avec des notes d’alcool doux. Moyennement ronde en bouche avec un pétillement assez élevé. Goût de levures fruitées (agrumes, léger de pomme aux petites notes cidreuses, notes de poires) et légèrement épicées (coriandre, très léger de poivre piquant) lors de l’entrée en bouche suivi d’un goût de sucre bonbon et avec des notes de pain et des traces de caramel doux puis finalement l’on retrouve un moyen goût d’alcool réchauffant avec des notes de houblon herbeux. Post-goût long et un peu sec, légèrement amer d’alcool et léger de levures fruitées (zeste d’agrumes, traces de pelures de pommes).

Ein Bier, das man auch in Tschechien und Österreich leicht bekommt. Es klassisches Bier belgischer Brauart mit süßlichen Aromen und etws zuviel Alkohol (auch im Geschmack). Ist ok, aber es gibt bessere.

Goudblond bier met redelijk CO2 gehalte. Hoppig en kruidig met redelijk volle smaak. Lange afdronk die uitvloeit in licht bittere toetsen. --- Beer merged from original tick of Brigand on 25 May 2018 at 14:20 - Score: 7
