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.

Pours gold with just a touch of cloud to it. Slight sweet hop on the nose. Flavor is smooth with a touch of sweet and a citrus tone. Alcohol is slightly noticable, but definitely nowhere near overpowering. Carbonation is high with a lot of bubble on the mouth. Very drinkable, but not an overly unique brew. Smooth and steady. Probably one of the best of the many (7 so far) I have tried from Steenberge. Pour the sediment in and you get a darker, cloudier brew that is slightly sweeter.

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

Solid beer if you like strong Belgian Ales. Piraat has plenty of spice, body, and alcohol to put you down for the night. I didn’t think that the taste of this beer was as fruity as it was spicy with loads of coriander and and honey. Good sipping beer that grabs the back of your throat as you swallow. If you don’t know what I mean by that...try it.

In the bottle: a great trippel, with clear citrus notes and relatively strong bitterness for the style; it is pale, with a white head, crisp yet warming. Excellent. On tap: surprisingly different from the bottled version; hops are less pronounced, and aromas of apples replace the citrus notes. A sweet and refreshing trippel, with warming notes of alchohol. Also excellent.

Wow good beer! Aaargh! Thin yellow por with little to no head. Thin taste with citrus notes with the alcohol content well hidden.

amber-blond colour, fine head, nice lace, aroma of caramelized sugar, alcohol and peach/orange, vinous, tart and full-bodied, the sweetness is followed by a robust dry bitterness and a long warming alcohol and spicy aftertaste

The look of Piraat Amber could not be any better with just right amount of gas, pleasant tonation bright orange-brown with thick, thick white crown. Very nice, soft gentle aroma. With alcohol content that is over 10 % is very hard to hide its presence. It is not too sweet or aggressive. Sweetness travels well into warming smooth aftertaste. Great beer.
