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.

750ml, pours a beautiful straw gold with a massive, long lasting, white head. OK, I understand this is a triple, but the fruitiness and the freshness reminds me more of a sour pale ale. The usual hard-candy, dark fruits vibe of a triple are present, but there is an acidic quality that reminds me of apple skins. Hints of honey. Very nice overall.

Poured a bright iluminating golden colour with a huge-ass head. After a couple minutes when the foam went down, the aroma hit me with strong notes of honey, alcohol and wheat. Taste was very rich, sort of zesty. Green apple, pear and lemon on the nose. Flavours were pleasent, but definately noticeable alcohol in the back of the mouth.

Pours golden orange with a lasting white head. Smell is yeast, and citrus fruits with spice. Taste is spiced, but smooth and fruity malt. A bit sweet with some tropical notes and a strong belgian yeast flavor. Medium body and soft carbonation. A touch of alcohol shows as it warms. Not bad, but too sweet and I don’t care for the yeast flavor.

simply wonderful ale! cant taste too much alcohol, the flavors are mainly hops and malt and to me maybe some dried fruit in there, almost some cheese hints . Great stuff, works well with Nowhere man from the beatles!!!

Pours a golden color with a fluffy white head. Way hoppy, which I wasn’t expecting from a Belgian. Not bad, but man did it have a funny way of playing with the Belgian yeast and hops. A beer with an identity crisis, am I malty, am I hoppy, am I a Belgian, am I the bastard child of a Belgian and a hop monster? Interesting and not quite in a great way.

330ml.bottle. at La Palette restaurant in Toronto. The color is golden with a thin beige head. The taste and aroma are spicy.Also in the taste is dried fruits and malt.The alcool % is high but it does not affect the taste that much. The finish is a nice sweet felling.
