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.

Yeasty aroma and a strong tropical fruit flavor to it with a gigantic head to it. Slightly reminiscent of Piraat, similar in quality as well.

Veldrid (120) - Canton, Ohio, USA - APR 7, 2011
330ml bottle. Pours a hazy dark yellow color with huge frothy off white head. The aroma is bright, lemony, yeasty, and a hint of floral hops. The taste is mainly citrus in flavor with a little hop and bread tatse. It has nice carbonation and is dry on the palette. Overall a nice beer.

mcberko (2196) - Vancouver, British Columbia, CANADA - MAR 30, 2011
330mL bottle, pours hazy golden / dark orange with a big, quickly-dissipating white head. Aroma is subtle, of yeast, pear, green apple, yeast and candied sugar. Flavour is of medium complexity, with yeast and candied sugar dominating, with pear, green apple and bubblegum coming in later. High carbonation and a lingering aftertaste of yeast and medium sweetness. Quite nice, though overrated to me.

Blairgus (1019) - California, USA - MAR 23, 2011
medium yellow, clear with lots of bubbles. foams up a lot when poured and has a huge foamy white head. smells like a great strong belgian ale! yeasty, alcohol aromas. maybe some barnyard in the background. med body and moderately fizzy. pretty decent belgian strong ale. softly sweet, a little syrupy, suprisingly. moderate alcohol flavour with some yellow raisin taste. i like this a lot!

Bottle 330ml @ home
[Trade by Dedollewaitor] Pours cloudy golden with a small white head. Aroma has notes of malt, caramel, some fruity notes and a little alcohol. Taste is light sweet and light bitter with a kind of dry finish. Body is medium, texture is thin, carbonation is soft to fizzy.
