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.

zebracakes (1340) - Washington DC, USA - JAN 9, 2008
Bottle. Pours hazy yellow orange, white head. Aroma is malt, graham cracker, grass, pine. Flavor is the same but rides beneath a very smoky "exterior". Quite unique, a pleasant surprise.

BeerPrince (1701) - Vancouver, British Columbia, CANADA - JAN 5, 2008
Orangey hazy colour with big head. Aroma is yeasty and spicey with some herbs and earth tones. Slightly hoppy and spicey throughout with an underlying sweetness and sugary taste.

rayg1 (509) - Charlotte, North Carolina, USA - JAN 4, 2008
Poured out a deep golden brown with a HUGE thick white head. Aroma was yeasty and spicy with a bit of booze. Taste is somewhat bitter and actually attempts to balance out the sweet yeasty flavor of this brew. Slight sourness of lemon in there as well. I noticed lots of floaties and yeast and stuff in this beer.

Drink4Satan (666) - Frederick, Maryland, USA - DEC 31, 2007
Pours a massive, rocky white head above a hazy gold elixir. There are some particulates settling to the bottom of the glass. Very sweet and floral nose of greean apple/pear, rich caramel, bubblegum yeast and floral hops. The taste is far more bitter than the aroma would suggest and the finish is very dry. A caramel malt backbone is overlain with sharp, fragrant hops, spice, light fruits and white grapes. The mouthfeel is highly effervescent and velvety smooth.

mabel (4129) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - DEC 29, 2007
[755-20071013] 330mL (w/ jerc). Sour yeast funk aroma with processed grains. Hazy, orange brown body with a big long-lasting foamy off-white head. Boozy Belgian yeast flavour has a grainy background, toasted malt finish and a slight sour tang. Medium body. Not terrible.

Optigon (562) - Bloomington, Indiana, USA - DEC 21, 2007
Pours orange, moderate mouth feel. Aroma is rather spicy. Flavor is citrus with some banana and spices. Somewhat sweet. De Dolle impresses again!
