Beers similar to Brigand

Belgian Blonde Ale·Belgium·9% ABV·One of 102 Belgian Blonde Ales in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Brigand's malty and fruity character. Brigand honours the rebels of the Peasants' War of 1798 and was the brewery's first blonde specialty beer. A bottle-refermented strong blonde under a creamy head, it is full-bodied with robust bitterness and a slight maltiness; a subtle aroma of Western European hops, lightly dry-hopped, sits on the nose. Wheat in the brew gives a dry finish with a gentle bitterness. 9 % ABV.
