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. Poured golden with a nice head. Aroma has some apples and citrus to it, quite pleasant. Starts out fruity, with a touch of tartness and then ends with a slight hoppy bitterness. I really enjoyed it.

De Dolle Arabier 4/17/09 (bottle. Pours with a huge frothy head and a hazy golden body. Aroma is yeasty, with some tangerine, grain, and bubble gum. Flavor starts with nice tangy orangey notes, esters and champagne-like qualities, with a bit of tartness. Finish rounds out really nicely: hop bitterness, spiciness, yeast, and tart citrus. A fun drink.

kseecs16 (1084) - Naperville, Illinois, USA - APR 11, 2009
Cimplex aroma is sugary sweet, somewhat sour with grassy notes. Fruity, some caramel notes. Huge creamy, foamy white head that is pillowy and laces the glass in clumps. Tons of yeasty globules floating in an orangey amber golden brew. Potent up front, then a bitter grassy hopiness, finish is grassy and dry roasty malts. Rich full flavors throughout. .Edium bodied with a nice lingering bitterness.

Snojerk321 (2954) - San Diego, California, USA - APR 1, 2009
11.2oz bottle from South Bay Drugs. This was a gusher! Pours medium gold with an orange hue, tons of carbonation and a mountainous off white head. Nose was lightly hoppy with peaches, apricots and a touch of yeast to round things out. Flavor was pretty sweet with a light bitterness up front. Finished with a touch of booze and off dry.
