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.

Tastes like an american made IPA, the hops are stronger than any other belgian I have had, which I am not happy with.

BMan1113VR (6145) - Los Angeles, California, USA - FEB 25, 2009
Bottle thanks to ilovedarkbeer. Pours with a huge, creamy white head over a clear golden body. Decent lace. Aroma is apple, alcohol, bread, honey, pear and candi sugar. Taste is a mess. Grassy, sun struck, a bit of bitter malts, dough, diacetyl, apple. Just not good at all. Dry and light bubbles.

17thfloor (2265) - Chicago, Illinois, USA - FEB 21, 2009
Pours a clear glowing golden with a fine white head. Fruity and spicy aroma reminiscent of Gulden Draak, cherry cough syrup, rich caramel, some alcohol, cinnamon apples. Also tastes somewhat similar, fruity and rich, quite spicy with a moderate hop profile, cinnamon apples and slightly metallic, some light vinegar as well. Medium bodied with fine sizzling carbonation.

madvike (1295) - Middleton, Wisconsin, USA - FEB 17, 2009
Bottle pours a nice golden hue with a big, frothy head. The nose is really spicy, which follows through to the taste. Real watery in the mouth. Ends bitter, with an unpleasant sour taste. Something just seemed off here.

blklab2007 (1354) - Connecticut, USA - FEB 16, 2009
bottle poured a light golden amber color with a one finger white head that was thick and retained forever. aroma has some banana yeasts, light spice, grains, and sweetness. mouth feel is on the light side and the carbonation is high. flavor has a nice banana yeast profile, again grainy, low spices, and a fairly hefty sweetness. really frothy with the carbonation and finishes with an enjoyable yeast and alcohol punch.
