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.

Bottle, tfs Vaiz! Slight hazy brown, huge slightly tanned head. Aroma is sour fruit, hops, spices, a bit sharp. Flavour is quite bitter hops with fruits (sour apple) and spices. Very nice.

Colore arancio carico con sfumature oro. Schiuma stracompatta ed estremamente persistente. Naso intenso e complesso con note di zenzero ed albicocca matura. In bocca è frizzante e ricca di pesca a polpa gialla, ananas candita e spezie. Il finale è pulito, fresco ed amaro alla perfezione. Strepitosa... che birra porca vacca...

Vaiz (1847) - Den Haag, NETHERLANDS - APR 11, 2010
Bottle. Pours a hazy golden color with a very thick foamy white head that leaves a lot of lacing and lasts forever. Aroma is spicy, sour, sharp hops, citrus and apple. Flavor is very bitter, spicy hops but still nicely balanced. Smooth texture, lively carbonation and a nice bitter finish.

Lovely soft ripe fruit aroma, enormous head, tiny bubbles... I only wish I could drink it fresh! Perfectly balance hops and malt. I want a pint in a flute!

MJGG (717) - Montreal, Quebec, CANADA - APR 5, 2010
Bouteille de 33 cl, rapportée de Lyon par Claude. Arômes de pain frais et de pommes vertes. Magnifique robe dorée et limpide, gigantesque tête qui tient bien et effervescence active. Très bien équilibrée en bouche, on retrouve des céréales croustillantes et une belle dose de levure fruitée et rappelant le pain frais. Finale moyennement sèche et bien amère pour une bière belge, avec une belle présence de houblon herbacé et terreux. Très bon!

SamGamgee (2451) - down the whirlpool, California, USA - APR 3, 2010
33cl bottle. Orange with a lasting white head. Lots of fruit in the aroma with lots of green and spiced red apple. The flavor has light sweetness and a touch of mealy malt, wet straw, a touch of hops in the finish. A bit funky actually. Light bodied with ample carbonation. Great nose but a weird finish.

oldrtybastrd (3228) - Doha, Qatar/Great Falls, Montana, USA - APR 2, 2010
Shared this one w/SkyCop32. Pours a nice Medium golden yellow color. Minimal fizzy white head, lasted maybe a minute or two. Aromas of light spices, a touch of brown sugar, and something vegetal. Flavor is lightly sweet and hints of spiciness. Touch of citrus.

gary07734 (500) - Tyne & Wear, ENGLAND - MAR 31, 2010
Pours an attractive hazy bright gold/amber with a huge pillowy white head. Aroma is crisp spicy spiky hops, malts, yeast and sugar. Taste is terrific spicy hops, dry bitterness balanced on a sweet brown sugar and malt background. Becomes herbal dry and slightly alcoholic in the finish. A truly excellent blonde beer.
