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. Copper with a lot of foamy, white head. Grape, slight green apple, and sweet tea. Very carbonated but balances well with the bitterness and slight sweetness. Medium body with a touch of grape and a bitter finish. This beer began to open up and show its character at 12~13°C.

Very good beer. Love the balance of the bitter, the sweet, and the higher carbonation. The beer has a vinegar taste to it. I do not normally enjoy the higher carbonated beers, but this one works for me. Nice clean, dry finish. A sweet citrus like smell, that again brings notes of vinegar.

Soonah (1120) - Tulsa, Oklahoma, USA - DEC 15, 2009
From lithy via trade. The pour was pale copper with an ample white head that was almost creamy. The aroma was yeast, spice and alcohol. The flavor was mostly alcohol and yeast. Not much sweetness to offer it balance. The mouthfeel was somewhere between thin and medium in body with lots of carbonation.

First of all, I am not sure how old this is, there is no date on the bottle. looks ok, very carbonated. sweaty, horsey, tart aroma, Malt and esters up front on the palate, tart sourness.
