Brugs - the white beer from Bruges.
Brugs is a white beer from Western Flanders, based on a traditional
Brabant brew.
The name comes the Flemish "Brugs Tarwebier", which
means "White beer of Bruges". Brugs was first brewed
in Bruges, Belgium's answer to Venice. Every bottle of Brugs
bears the "golden tree", harking back to the trophy
traditionally awarded to the knights that won the tournaments
held in the city back in the Middle Ages.
The beer is pale yellow, slightly cloudy beer with a refreshing
tartness. It's made from wheat and hops and is seasoned with
bitter orange and coriander. The beer is unfiltered, as with
all beers on lees, which allows it to keep the natural cloudiness
given by its yeast.
Often served with a slice of lemon, the beer has very low bitterness
and a dense, creamy head.
