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.

Bottled. Golden color with a amazing fluffy foamy, looks like a ice cream or snow, fantastic! Aroma is sweet and malty some alcohol notes, flavor is balanced between spicy and sweety, some honey and fruity notes, alcohol presents too. Good! Mouthfeel is refreshing. Too complex beer!

Português: Cerveja dourada, com uma espuma maravilhosa, parece mais um sorvete um monte de neve em cima do copo. Aroma adocicado e maltado, notas de álcool. Sabor equilibrado entre o picante e o doce, notas de mel e frutas, complexo demais. Retrogosto refrescante.

This just had to be the first beer I tried in my new set of Piraat glasses. Huge head on this heavy ale. Nice and smooth with a good blend of malts and hops resulting in a strong ale. A spicy-fruit flavor.

I had this beer on draft. My initial smell was of banana and pineapple. You could also taste the banana and pineapple, as well as the spices. This is definitely on my list of favorites. It had a thick head, it hid the alcohol very well, and it went down very smoothly.

Tap. Slightly hazy golden body, small white head, banana Belgian yeast nose. Typical tripel flavors, with banana, pineapple, spices, some yeastiness, some citrus (orange, lemon). Hides alcohol well.

33cl bottle, 10.5% a/v from an LCBO gift pack. Pours a hazy gold colour with a thin tan head which likes to linger. Cloves, banana, pineapple in the nose, as well as a healthy does of alcohol. Taste is much the same, somewhat bland on the initial taste for a beer of this style but the tastes start to come out much more after the swallow. As well as once the beer warms up. Somewhat spicy and fruity.. Not an amazing beer but still a pretty good one.

Opaque pale orange pour with large white head. Good lacing. Aroma is sour, yeasty, and coriander. Flavor is spicy, sour, fruity, and surprisingly bitter (almost like chewing on a orange rind). Bitterness lingers unpleasantly.
