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 from Majestic on Eastchase. Awkward grassy aroma isn’t very pleasing. Taste isn’t too bad. Faint and fruity.

Nice amber colour, thin head. Hoppy fruity aroma is very pleasant. Fruity flavour transitioning into kind of a dry doughey finish. Slightly alcoholic. Not bad.

Cavie (3249) - Fort Worth, Texas, USA - NOV 14, 2009
Bottle courtesy of Fratto. Hazy golden pour. First smell was a little sour with some off color notes that disappear after the second sniff. Some lighter fruit elements. Flavor has some butter with grain. Little fruit on the taste. A little disappointing.

Golden blond beer with nice white head. Aroma is full malty, slight peppery, yeasty and it has some honey and hops in the nose too. Taste is strong, you can feel some alcohol, some bitterness and it ends nicely smooth with somemild honey accents

Maddog (348) - Kettering, Ohio, USA - NOV 4, 2009
A bad ass beer. Draft at so many places but the most recent was South Park Tavern in Dayton, OH. The pour is clear, very light amber with a nose of fruit and yeast. The flavor is strong, hot, fruity with some yeast. The classic Belgian beer with a lot of power. Sweet, fruity, and big, this Belgian is a damn good beer.
