Briganti

Tap to rate

An Italian-style lager first brewed in 2024 and made a core beer after strong feedback. Maize and Golden Naked oats give the smooth, rounded body the style calls for; Hallertau Mittelfrüh and Cryo Loral are added late, for a gently hoppy, floral and fruity aroma without much bitterness. Gently toasted malts and soft Sheffield water round it off, the finish is clean. The name recalls the Brigantes, the hill people of Roman-era Yorkshire. 4.5%; Silver at the World Beer Awards 2025.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Briganti

◎ Appearance

Pale golden hue with excellent clarity and bright, luminous quality. Fine carbonation produces a white head of moderate height with good retention and delicate lacing that clings to the glass. The visual presentation reflects the beer's restrained elegance and clean fermentation.

◌ Aroma

The nose presents a gentle floral and fruity character from the Cryo Loral addition, balanced by soft, honeyed notes from the maize and Golden Naked oats. Hallertau Mittelfrüh contributes a subtle herbal undertone without aggressive hop presence. The overall effect is refined and inviting, with no sharp edges or oxidative notes.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and rounded, with the grain adjuncts delivering a silky mouthfeel and subtle sweetness. The mid-palate reveals gently toasted malt character without heaviness, while the late hop additions provide a delicate floral and fruity impression. Bitterness remains light and well-integrated at 35 IBU, never dominating the balanced profile.

◑ Finish

Clean and crisp, with soft Sheffield water contributing mineral refinement. The aftertaste fades gently without lingering harshness, leaving only a faint floral whisper and grain sweetness.

Serve at 4–7°C

Serve well-chilled at 4–6°C for maximum crispness. A pilsner served too warm loses its defining snap.

Pilsner glass

The tall, narrow pilsner glass preserves carbonation and showcases the golden clarity that defines the style.

Drink fresh and cold. Pilsners do not improve with age — within 3 months of packaging is ideal.

About Italian Pilsner

Style guide · what to expect · how to find alternatives

What is a Italian Pilsner?

Pilsners are crisp golden lagers with 4–5.5% ABV and IBU 25–45. Defined by spicy, floral Saaz hops over a light malt backbone — bright carbonation and a dry bitter finish.
