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.

On tap. Pours yellow with a nice head that dissipates quickly. Aroma is very fruity - flavor is some pear, apple. Mouthfeel is decent. Strong and goes down nicely.

Bottle from variety pack. Colour; amber yellow, huge frothy white head. Aroma: Yeast and spice, very mild alcohol in the aroma also, some spices. Flavour: Malt, spices, alcohol, plums, with a bitter malt finish. Not bad.

330ml bottle. Pours slightly hazy amber with a nice white head, goos retention, good lace. Smells lightly yeasty and bready with a hint of clove and spice. Tastes about the same. Lightly malty and yeasty with some bread and a hint of clove and spice. Nice. Medium body, nice carbonation.

This is a beautiful golden brew pouring with a massive creamy head. The nose is citrus fruits, the palate banana, pineapple, lemon, and orange against a honey backdrop and alcohol warmth. Damned good beer.

Interesting but, looking at all the glowing ratings for this brand maybe I must of gotten a bad bottle or something... this is the first $10 bottle of beer that I dumped the majority of down the sink. Tasted like an orange soda made with orange peels, fizzy with an alcohol afterbite. Must be the European equivalent of King Cobra if you add a couple shots of vodka to pump up the ABV? Real pirates should stick to rum... Yo ho, and cheers.

This is one of the only belgian beers I really like. It has such a fruity, and nutty spiced taste. If I could bathe in it, I would.

Clear deep gold pour with a big creamy head that lasts throughout the glass. Good fruity aroma with some malty sweetness and spicy hops, and a lot of alcohol. Flavor is similar, fruit and alcohol being the main components, though the alcohol fades as it warms, (and as you drink more!) Just a touch of hop spiciness on a pretty dry finish. Good brew!
