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.

Writing from memory....for some reason I haven’t added this to my list. Spiced, yes. But little else except nice hops coming to mind. Anyway, it’s not as valuable to me to note beers so late...but I want this one on my record.

UPDATED: AUG 8, 2008 Gorgeous billowing white head several fingers high. De Dolle rocks and so do their labels. The Arabier is sensual and mysterious. Each sip renders new secrets. Dry with hints of smoke. Sheer delight, my appreciation builds each time I open a bottle.

Indeed I’ve problems with the dolle yeast. Only the Oerbier I find great. Arabier and the others are maybe a ? of time. The yeast is bitter in a "strange" way for me, but hopefully I gain the force to enjoy it one day!

33cl bottle. Very lively beer with good carbonation driving a tall, white head. Flavor of malt with a short, dry finish. Nice beer overall.

Very hoppy and spicey, more so than I prefer. Nice snow white head, nice gold color, and nice spicey aroma. Almost had a "melon like" flavor.Not sweet enough for me.

Poured a cloudy orange color with a huge foamy white head that just kept on coming. The aroma was of herbs, yeast, and citrus fruit. The flavor is big of citrus fruit, lemon and orange, and some spice as well. It starts off a little tart and has a little bitterness to it as well. Definitely get some funk in there as well. As it warms the taste is much better with more of the sweetness from the citrus fruit. This has a lot going on with it. The finish is citrusy and a bit funky as well. It is different and interesting for sure.
