Commercial Description:
Piraat is a wickedly rich and rounded brew that packs a mighty punch. The powerful glow builds up from inside. Deep golden with a subtle haze. Lots of hops and malt. Mild sweetness. Reminiscent of bread dough, spices and tropical fruits.

330ml Bottle: Aroma of hops, light alcohol, yeast, slight sour apples, sweet malts, light herbs, light grass, slight pepper, and a hint of funk. Poured golden/amber in color with a medium to large-sized, rocky, white head that lasted throughout. Clear. Sparkling. Excellent lacing. Flavor is light to medium sweet. Tastes of fruit, nectar, yeast, hops, slight resin, light herbs, malts, and light grass. Medium body. Slick, oily texture. Average carbonation. Sweet, fruity, yeasty finish is a tad dry. 10.5%ABV is completely hidden.

A 0.33L bottle at Brics Inn Jyväskylä. Slightly hazy pale golden yellow colour. Mild slightly sweet nose. Mild slightly alcoholic taste. Some vinelikeness. Grass notes in the nose. White head. Soft and slightly sweet taste when getting warm. At the end some hoppy bitterness and some hints of apple.

Cloudy gold color and very very little white froath. Smooth, slick, medium body with piney and slightly citrus flavors. A bit more aggressive, sharp and lasting piney notes finish that is firm but not over powering. The alcohol did not stand out until the bottom of the glass. I enjoyed the balance of this beer. If I try another I hope will be at a slightly warmer temp. This was straight from the fridge.

Crushed with Jakebra. Musty, grassy nose. Very very earthy. Flavor is about the same. Alcohol is very apparent. High alcohol is always cool. None too good. Wouldnt get this again probably.

Clear golden body with tall white head, very hoppy on the nose, super balance of malt, punch fruit notes and spice.

On tap @ La Trappe. Brings me back to the old Sharp Edge days... Pours a cloudy golden color with a nice, white head. Hoppy, yeasty aroma, as you would expect. Light body, yeasty with a hoppy finish. Bitter... A step back in time.
