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.

Bottle. Pours a cloudy deep golden orange colour, with a thin white head. The aroma has plenty of tropical fruit, some spice, a little malt, and sweetness. The taste has lots of sweetness, with a strong yeasty flavor with fruits and spices, with a dry bitter finish.

Saw this at a beer store in a Belgian mixer sixer so I had to splurge. Aroma is belgian yeast, some fruit, and some light alcohol burn. Nice head that never goes away and it gives the glass some nice legs. Tastes like a Belgian strong ale should taste. Has some nice hop qualities along with the malts but this is a beer that I would tell a friend to get if they’ve never had a true Belgian. All I have left to say is "Damn this is a good beer". Slainte!

33cl bottle, tulip glass. Pours copper with thick head, that leaves some lacing. Spicy aroma, even fruity. Nice taste for quite a strong beer, not too much alcohol at the end, with a sweet aftertaste. Better than expected, I’ll try it again

What the hell is wrong with most of you? Strong alcohol content can be had at less than a third the price of this garbage!!!!! It smells like rotting bananas, it tastes like a girl that desperately needs to see her doctor. WTF, folks?

Poured a rich gold from the tap. Aroma fruit, sweet tarts, alcohol, and ripe fruit. Flavor was yeast and estery; sugary, not too sweet, more like honey. Some dark fruit notes; alcohol moderately hidden. Solid.

Panzuriel (1065) - Westerville, Ohio, USA - AUG 12, 2011
An apple juice colored liquid which is slightly cloudy. Pours a very thick head of small white bubbles. nose is good floral esters common to awesome belgians. Taste is medium sweet with a happy bready middle finishes slightly good bitters. Mouthfeel is full and lush. very pleasing. A great great belgian.

AshtonMcCobb (777) - Edinburgh, SCOTLAND - AUG 3, 2011
33cl bottle. Pours amber with a very generous head and gentle bubbles. The nose has creamy banana and malt. The taste has tangy pineapple and again a malt note in the background. The palate is big in structure and texture with a sharp, dry finish. Overall, a decent blonde tripel though the taste delivers more than the nose.

33cl bottle from a bargain mixed 6-pack from Lidl. Pours amber gold with a billowing, loose, cream head; aroma of coriander and prunes, and Belgian yeast; thick and oily in the mouth, incredibly sweet and fruity, like liquified apricot jam; the alcohol provides a gentle and building warming finish, that is quite pleasant. Quite a refined sipper in my opinion.
