Piraat 10.5%

Cloudy orange with a large, off-white head. Yeasty clove and cotton candy in the aroma. The candy sweetness of the flavor detracts from the rest of the beer.

Bottle. Pours rich and cheddary, with a nice head and beautiful lattice work. Aroma is a hint of sage, followed by bread and citrus. Flavor is a sweet grapefruit with cooking spices and a touch of sweet bread. Palate is thick and chewy. Great Belgian.

Bottle at The Dovetail, London. Clear amber with a huge white head that does not seem to reduce in size at all. Great saaz hop aroma blending with coriander and spicy yeastiness. Sweet caramel flavours meet spicy hops and yeast to make a well-balanced beer with a dryish finish. Very fizzy. One of Van Steenberge’s best, no doubt.

Golden color wth tiny little particals floating around. Smell of fruit, malt and yeasty. Tastes like banana nut bread. Taste of more fruit and alcohol. Dry bitter at the end.
