Piraat 10.5%

Brewed by Brouwerij Van Steenberge
Style: Belgian Strong Ale
Ertvelde, Belgium

This is one of my new favorite beers, piraat has a strong aroma and has the appearance of a golden beer, ist like a angle pissing on my tongue

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.

Bottled 33cl. A hazy golden orange beer with an airy white head. Aroma is sweet, fruity and alcoholic. Taste is also very fruity, yeasty and spicy. Notes of alcohol and honey. Dry and alcoholic end

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.

12 oz bottle been in my fridge way too long. Pours a hazed orange with a tall white head. that laces down. Sweet fruity aroma or yeast banana, clove, coriander, and alcohol. Sweet flavors with all that alcohol. Bananas, dough, and caramel. Lemons leading into coriander and clove. So much alcohol here. Why do you need so much?
