3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours golden yellow, almost clear. Nice head. Aroma and taste of sweet subtle pineapple. Little alcohol feel, but the body and its slightly sweet edge mellows the alcohol’s tingling on the tongue. Quite nice BSA. chEERS!
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
0.33 l bottle.
Unclear deep golden/amber colour with a stabile, creamy and laceing white head, carbonation’s fizzy.
Dry and tart smell of citrus, spice and grain.
Smooth, thick mouthfeel with a tart aroma of citrus, light resin and cereals. Complex flavour of sweet fruits (grapes, orange, grapefruit), alcohol balanced by spice and hoppy bitternes.
The resin/dry and bitter charactered finish brings spice, citrus and alcohol along, which leaves a tart-spicy-fruity aftertaste behind.
Every síp brings a new impression, it’s well balanced and – drinkable, so overall very enjoyable, fine one.
3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
On tap at the Hopcat. Clear golden yellow with a thin white head and sheet lacing. Strong aromas overall with toasted malt, dough, yeast, fruit and alcohol. Taste is smooth and boozy with fruit, yeast and sweet malt. Decent.
4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Strong malty and complex-fruit, floral, resin and spice. Alcohol burn is a little too noticeable but other than that an awesome beer.
4.5 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20
330 mL Bottle. Gold-amber body with a foamy white head that settles to a tenacious layer with lots of clingy lace. Aroma of sweet malts, yeast, and complex fruity-floral notes; very inviting. Rich sweet malts with yeasty and fruity notes, peach-pear aftertaste, and finishing almost like a dry white wine. Very mellow in the mouth. Another fine Belgian.
4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Served out of a bottle into a goblet. Golden in color, relatively clear, moderate head. Smell was lighter than expected, but still present and pleasant. Mouth feel was full bodied and easy to drink. I haven’t had this beer in a while, and it was my fourth of the night. It was as good as I remembered and I am thrilled to recommend this beer to those Belgian fans out there, of which there are millions.

A: Bright white head sits atop a hazy dark gold brew.
S: Lots of funk here. Also, plenty of hops and Belgian yeast. Fantastic.
T: Lots going on here. Good funk from the yeast, and plenty of hops to go along. Hints of different fruits as well.
M: Good taste throughout, sits in the mouth well. Medium body.
D: A little overpowering to go through more than one of, but this is a very fine brew.

Piraat
Ale
Pours golden orange with a nice thick pillowy white head a medium retention. Good looking brew. Aroma is very flowery. Reminds me of the Angel Trumpets we see here in Sacramento. Lingering hibiscus with a slight funk and very little booze for the ABV.
Flavor is light and slightly boozy. Medium bubbles with a nice mouthfeel. Lots of flowers with a slight bitter on the finish. Enjoyable.
