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.

750 from Total Wine Clearwater, courtesy of JimmieG. It pours a clear amber-gold with a white pillowy head. Sugary bread, apple, and an almost berry sweetness come out in the aroma. The flavor is sweet with a sugary-bubble-gum-like finish. Excellent golden ale.

Draft @ redlight redlight. Pours a golden with a cream head, tons of lacing on the glass. Spicy, malty sweet, with a faint aroma of grapes, some candi sugar on the nose. In flavor, spicy, some malty sweetness, a little alcohol and more candi sugar. Slightly drying finish, smooth, low carb in the mouth. Pretty tasty.

RollinHard (950) - Fort Worth, Texas, USA - SEP 21, 2008
Pours gold, clearer than I think it should be, with a large, dissipating white head. Aroma is honey, hay, grass, metal, maybe a bit of yams, and spicy hops. Tastes fairly sweet with honey, and sugar, but there’s plenty of earth, hop spice. Finishes warming with a charonnay grapey flavor and a bit of grass bitterness. Medium bodied and fairly high carbonation, but not a creamy and "together" mouthfeel by any means. Pretty unremarkable and less complex than other better examples.

sirpsycho (393) - Murrysville, Pennsylvania, USA - SEP 21, 2008
Bottle at the Headkeeper (Greensburg). Pours a honey gold, nice wispy white head. Aroma is sweet fruit, caramel, a little yeasty. flavor is a full bodied combination of friuit, pineapple and peach and slight caramel. Alcohol is well hidden, making this an easy to drink 10.5%.

Nnudd (69) - Helsinge, DENMARK - SEP 20, 2008
Bottle. Pours hazy golden colour with a thin white head. Slightly malty aroma with a little alcohol. Sweet taste with well balanced malt and alcohol, spices and big ripe fruit. Again this is a typical belgian blond ale, but this one stands out, with it’s power from the alcohol. Nice carbonation and medium mouthfeel.

ucusty (2618) - Wake Forest, North Carolina, USA - SEP 17, 2008
Hazy gold pour with a thin off white head. Bouquet aroma of strong pine, fruit, and spice. Carmel green apples, citrus, bananas, and alcohol spiciness for flavors. This has a hearty maltiness and the alcohol makes itself known. Acidic, slightly tart. Very complex and enjoyable.

Esta realmente define bem uma strong ale, Um aroma muito bom, floral, um toque adocicado, um oque de damascos turcos, dai seu toque frutado. Ela na taça é imponente, belissima cor, um dourado escuro e opaco, baixa carnonatação, espuma abundante, ponto positivo da cerveja, boa duração e volume, melehor, excelentes. Achei uma cerveja boa, mas é deseqquilibrada no aspecto do alcool presente, achei muito forte a presença de alcool nela, sei que são 10,5% d ea abv, mas tem cervejas com maior ou igual valor cmais equilibradas, seu paladar e persistente, o gosto de alcool fica na boca. No geral é uma boa cerveja, para ser omada no inverno, ela realmente esquenta.

dirt55 (198) - Washington, USA - SEP 13, 2008
on tap, sweet golden/amber body with nice thick white head, sweet aroma of malt with a welcoming alcohol note, excellent fruit/yeast combo on the palate with strong malts, feels WAY too strong despite the lack of strong alcohol flavor, could get you in trouble
