One of the very first IPA’s I ever had, perhapes even the first. Brigand was early in catching up with the IPA-trend. I used to like it back then, but know I’ve tasted much better specimens.

33 cl bottle @ hotel room, Bruges. Rated on 16.07.2010
Aroma has citrus, some apricot and floral notes. Flavour is somewhat hoppy with grassy notes, some citrus, apricot and floral notes. Nothing to do with IPA, but a decent Belgian ale anyway.

Not the best IPA I’ve ever tasted, not the worst either. It’s my favorite beerstyle, but this beer is not one of the best though I still like it very much. It’s all a bit medium this beer. It’s nice, but there are no special things, nothing stands out.

bouteille 33cl sans date de consommation. Couleur, ambre/cuivre, col blanc. Arôme garde une touche plus maltée et caramel avec un houblon qui reste en retrait par rapport au style IPA, mais laisse tout de même entrevoir un léger citron. En bouche, bière à tendance maltée et caramel, houblon se fait discret et cela est peut être du à l’age de la bouteille, garde une note herbacée avec qcq épices qui sont là aussi assez discrètes. Levure est aussi à noter et une très fine amertume qui colle au fini venant du malt et houblon. Pas mauvaise et aurait surement été meilleure plus fraiche.

I’m pretty sure this is a retired beer. One of the first IPAs i’ve tasted but definitly not the best. It scored nice but not as high a some other IPAs. This one is not really hoppy enough for me, but still a good beer.

Clear amber beer. Sweet malt, suprisingly not that hoppy!! Drinkable though!

Bottle. Pours clear amber, very bubbly, with a fluffy, off-white head. Malty aroma, with some light grain and caramel. Flavor is fairly sweet, with definite notes of caramel, some booze, bread, and mild, earthy bitterness. Medium bodied with fizzy carbonation and some alcohol warmth. Finish is a little muddled, though mostly sweet and slightly syrupy. Not bad overall. Definitely nothing here in the ’IPA’ realm. Total misnomer, man.

Bottle. Amber coloured pour with fluffy white head. Aroma of fruit and malt. Malty, hoppy, caramel, nutty almost roasty taste, similar to an English IPA, not particualrly Belgian in taste. Give me a quality American IPA any day.
