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.

Bottle. Pours a hazy gold with nice white head that leaves good lacing around the glass. Aroma is fruity, sweet, and spicy with a hint of hops and malt. Taste is wonderful, sweet fruits and spices playing excellent off of one another, with a dry crisp finish. Mouthfeel was tangy but clean and not syrupy. It amazes me that with such a high alcohol content this beer really has a great taste. I really enjoy Piraat it has become my go to Belgian beer.

Bottled 33cl. It pours a pale hazy golden beer with a huge beautiful white head. The nose is of grapefruit, grapes, melon, alcohol and lemon. A very strong aroma. A bit acidic. The flavor is mainly of melon, grapefruit and lemon. A bready malt character. Hoppy with a hint of pine needles. There is quite a bite to this beer. A lot of alcohol accompanied by a great bitterness. Unexpected dry spicy peppery finish.

Some doughy - earthy yeastiness. Flavor is moderately sweet, with moderate bitterness. Finish has mild sour-acidic flavor with light bitterness, citric hop flavors stand out. Body is moderately full, with some dryness, slightly syrupy. Alcohol is present.

Pours a semi cloudy honey yellow with a thick layer of white head. Aroma is of citrus (more lemony/orange) and yeast. Flavor is definitely sweet with each yeast-filled sip. Fruits/citrus, malt and hints of spice (clove). Body is medium thickness (perfect body for this ale). Definitely surprised by this ale--pleasantly so. Thank God for Beligian Ales and Belgium :)

Pours a yellow/amber. Decent seafoam head. Smells of fresh bread with a hint of citrus. Flavor is pretty damn impressive. Sharp sweet malt, orange hard candy. Then goes to a doughy and lastlty quick hop finish. Great stuff. Even though I hate pirates, I’ll drink it again soon.

Bottle. Hazy golden with a nice white creamy head. Sweet fruity and yeasty aroma. Good soft mouthfeel. The flavour is sweet with ripe fruits, yeast, some malt, bit of spice, alcohol and bit of citrus. Tasty brew indeed.
