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.

Sweet, almost cider-like in taste. Yeasty. Medium-bodied. Hints of orange and peach. Pleasant enough if you like the direction it is going in, but one was enough for me.

Bottle. Quite appleish in aroma, spicy, light alcohol. Lightly hazy golden colour. Stable white head. Taste rather simple, lots of Belgian spiciness, rather sweet, but not unbalanced. Alcohol does not show much but does a little. Overall good but not very complex.

Ambar anaranjada algo turbia. Mucha mucha espuma. Bastante duradera. Aroma a uva algo avinagrado. Bastante cuerpo, carbonatacion escasa. Sabor poco comun: achampanado, uva... Un toque algo dulce y un calor claro de alcohol, sin que se note muy fuerte. En cualquier caso decepciona.
