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.

Flaske fra "Super Welcome Shop", i parken ved hotellet: kl. 18 i sommervarmen var denne farlig lys og bedragersk lett for sin voltstyrke. Godt at hotellrommet bare var noen få skritt unna. God, men faktisk var det mer smak i Val-Dieu Blonde som vi hadde samtidig.

Pale, with great head. Flavour: a bit metal, warming alcohol, slightly fruity. Light bitterness. Quite typical Belgian strong ale, decent, but without anything special.

MEH! Not much going on here, all of the elements of a Belgian ale, but nothing stands out. Decent, but not outstanding.

Head: off-white, medium, creamy, good retention. Colour: golden-amber, hazy.
Aroma: fruity, vinous/dry, spicy, bit of alcohol. Taste: delicate sweetness, just a bit of sourness, spicy bitterness - well balanced.

Bottle from Carrefour Bruxelles Midi, split on split on the not so 300kph tasting part II on Train 9437 to Koln, 26/04/13. Hazed pale golden with a decent sized off white head. Nose is burnt toffee, sugars, yeast, citrus, orange pith, burnt alcohol. Taste comprises lemon rind, orange, caramel, light booze, wheaten notes, barley, sugars. Full bodied with fine carbonation, sweet bitter notes in the finish which carries a little booze. Ok stuff but nothing I’d rush back to.

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).
