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.

11.2 oz bottle in the sampler. This is probably my favorite of the pack. Orange amber color, not as overly carbonnated as some of the others, nor as citrusy, although there is a touch of citrus. Has more zip to it (thank you 10.5) and I’m glad I saved the best for last. Doubt that I’ll get this particular label again, as overall I felt it a bit weak for Belgian.

Flaske. Ligner en hvedeøl ved en fejltagelse, men smager bestemt ikke derhen af. Til at begynde med er alkoholen alt dominerende, og den minder mere om en malt liqour end en belgier, men efterhånden som alkoholen ryger ind ryger smagsløgene ud, og derfor denne forholdsvis milde bedømmelse.

bottle. golden with ample head. Hops, orange peel, spice, cinnamon(?), bread. Noticable alcohol. Interesting, fairly heavy, sip this one slowly.

This beer claims to be an IPA and a Tripel. Well, the Belgian overrules the IPA hoppiness but you still feel the hoppy bitter finish. It works - but I would have to suggest they try this with a few more styles. Pours like champagne with a rich creamy head forming shortly after. Golden yellow and cloudy. Aroma of yeast (probably the only downside to this beer.) Full rich flavor that ends on a bitter note.

tap @ papago. yellowy gold color with a fluffy white head. aroma is very fruity...pears cooked in brown sugar, apricots and oranges with bread/yeast and alcohol. flavor is a bit peppery with some earthiness and everything from the aroma combined with a little sweetness. medium to rich mouth feel with lots of carbonation. light yeasty bitter finish with a warming alcohol presence.

From memory. Solid Belgian with all the tastes, smells, etc we look for in a golden ale and then wax poetic about here.
