Description

Brigand 9% 33cl -

Orange and lemon citrus is up front with a mild tartness.

Medium bodied with a crisp feel and fine effervescent carbonation. Heavy malt presence with mild tangerine and grapefruit flavours. Some fruity tartness and mild alcohol flavours too. Balanced sweetness with a semi dry finish.

The appearence is a hazed orange beige colour with a very well sustaining off white lace. The aroma is fragrant with a mildly pungent barnyard tartness in the nose. Fresh sliced lemons and hay come to mind also.

This beer has a moderate body with a crisp and effervescent carbonation, obvious malt presence though. Mild tangerine and grapefruit flavours, some phenolic medicinal tastes and a liberal hand of hops give an herbal minty twang that lingers for a long time. Fruity with a warming alcohol kick. Earthy and barn yard characters and a soft, raw honey like sweetness is the result of the residual sweetness though the nutty yeast and a grainy palate ending with a dry finish.

Notes: Misleadingly strong and crammed complexity drives the taste buds wild … a bit overwhelming in a good way. Certainly a beer to think about and ponder "how does such great beer exist on Earth." Baked Brie would be a great pairing for this brew.

This beer pairs well with game and wild fish.
