COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Arabier is a pure malt beer brewed with flower Nugget-hops from Poperinge. It has the special dry-hopping taste and aroma, so appreciated by beer lovers all over the world. It is one of the two main beers from De Dolle Brouwers available throughout the year. Aging time is limited due to the fact that hop bitterness declines with age. Store arabier cool and dark and serve cool at 10°C.

fl 33cl, 8% quite dim, golden with very thick golden foam, filled the entire (large) glass. Extremely hoppy aroma with lots of grapefruit and lime. Lots of hops in taste too, nice sweet to bitterness ratio and a bit flowery really. Medium, nice fitting palate. Lots of bitterness after too, very nice if you like hops.

TET (685) - FINLAND - FEB 21, 2011
Golden beer with big and blond head. Aroma is fresh and fruity, spicy, yeast, some sweetness and oranges. Taste is strongly spicy, quite lot of bitterness, black peppers, some fruits, grapefruity sourness; quite biting taste. With yeast taste is more balanced and spicyness isn’t so attacking. Almost full bodied to drink, nice. Spicy, strong and attacking beer.

33cl bottle from Drink of Fulham. Pours hazy golden yellow. Nose; hay, pine, orange, lemon and peach. Taste; smooth, foamy mouthfeel, hoppy up front, tangerines, lemons, honey, earthy with a tart finish. Tasted ok, but didn’t live up to the hype.
