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 a massive off white head that lasts the whole time your drinking this ale. Als had a odd greenish, brown, orange color to it. The taste was a little odd to me. I was expecting a tripel or something of that nature. Nice fruity flavoring. fruits, yeast, malts and some spice. Nice malty thickness to it. With a nice hoppy bitter finish. Have like everything fro De Dolle so far.

Bottled at Issac Newton’s. Pours a cloudy orange color with a large white lasting white head, it just hangs until the finish. Aroma of belgian style spices, citrus, fruit, yeast, alcohol and sweet malts. Flavor is sweet, fruity, citrusy, and a bitter hoppy bite for a finish good body great brew.

Heavy carbonation, with a nice cloudy gold body. Great apple and pine with hops in the aroma. Clean body, cloudy taste with fruit accents, awesome! Tangy ending.

330ml bottle. Pours cloudy golden orange with a fizzy white head. Fruity and yeasty aroma with a hint of celery salt.Flavor of wheat malt, spice, and apples. Finishes dry and with some mild bitterness and warming. Not bad, but there are better examples out there.

great lively carbonation. hazy orange/cloudy gold. Fruity, bitter and fresh. Be carefull while opening the bottle and pouring and choose a big glass (if you dont have an oerbier glas). Again an exciting beer from De dolle Brothers!
