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. A very soft sour aroma, some grass and citrus. A huge white foamy head with a long duration, the body is cloudy and orange. The taste is sour and bitter. The body is medium strong with a lot of carbonation and a dry texture.

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.

Pours an amber gold with a big white fluffy head. Aroma is sweet malts and a little sour. Taste is yeasty, spice, malts. Decent, but not as good as the Oerbier.

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.

unclear golden with big head, too much carbonation. Strong maltyfloreal aroma of hops, spices, coriander and citrus. Flavours is sweet with nice bitterness from the hops. Well balanced.
