Dark yellow with a high white head. For me, the foam spewed right out after opening the bottle! Taste is bitter sweet with strong hops, and starts very hot alcoholic. Overall an unusual belgian beer, I recommend it.

thanatosti (585) - NETHERLANDS - FEB 9, 2013
33 cl. bottle @ home, bought @ Hogerdijk, Culemborg. Golden with a big white head. Fruity sweet aroma with some citrus. Alcohol sweetness and sharpness are at first noticable but after that more subtle flavours rise to the surface. Yeasty hopbitter aftertaste. Not bad but not as good as Duvel

I think the government liquor store carries this because they’ve heard somewhere that Piraat is good and don’t know they’re getting the wrong one. My friend said this tasted like glue, I think she’s crazy, it’s pretty good, nice "round" ale flavour with lots of alcohol that goes well with the style haha. Nice spicy ester/phenol taste, fun to belch afterwards. That’s what sticks with you, the belching.

So yeah, spicy alcohol.

ShivanDragon (482) - Leeuwarden, NETHERLANDS - DEC 9, 2012
UPDATED: FEB 3, 2013 gouden heldere kleur met mooie dunne witte kraag, aroma van gist, behoorlijke citroen en zoetigheid overheersen. fluwelig zacht van smaak, citrus, koriander, peper, licht zurig en zoet, bijna geen bitterheid met stevige alcoholsmaak, afdronk is fris, droog, kruidig, licht zoet en licht zuur de 9% alcohol is redelijk verborgen, goed bier !

33cl. Bottle. Poors haze yellow with white head. Aroma citrus, yeast, malts. Taste sweet, bit sour, alcohol, some bitters. Mouth-feel thin. Strong blond maybe bit to much noticeable alcohol.
