Bière du Corsaire

Brewed by Brouwerij Huyghe
Style: Belgian Strong Ale
Melle, Belgium

Muddy orange with white head. Aroma of yeast and alcohol. Taste of caramel and citrus, an odd blend. Slightly sour finish.

33cl bottle @ Boysen, Odense. Pours hazy yellow with a creamy white head & lacings. Nose & taste is of yeast & fruits such as orange & citrus. Lively carbonation. Medium bodied. Warmth and vague hints from/of alcohol which is noticeable. A bit one sided nevertheless enjoyable!

33cl, from Geers Oostakker, complex brew, clear, rocky head, good brew, one of the best blonde beers of Huyghe

Bottle, bought @ Pivni Gallerie, Prague.
Pours a clear yellowish golden, with quite a lot of small particles. A small, frothy white head. Nice yeasty aroma, lots of oranges, pineapple and biscuity malts. High and lively carbonation. Flavour is nicely fruity with apples, oranges, light lemony zest and pineapple. A firm, yeasty note as well. Refreshing.

Very tastefull tripple.Had it on bottle in Japan. A good and complex beer with lots of taste

330ml bottle from Beers Of Europe. A hazy orange beer with a lot of yeast sediment. Hmm - quite thin and dry for a 9% beer - certainly fully attenuated. Not exactly tart, but leaning in that direction. Mousy, soft carbonation. Muddy flavours - messed up yeast with some slight orange zest. Not sure what to make of this - it’s certainly drinkable, but there’s not a lot of interest or character and certainly few pleasure points. But it’s not bad, it does work in its own way, and there is some interest. It’s like a saison heading toward a lambic, but not getting there. The 9% alcohol is totally wasted - the same sort of texture and flavour could be created under 5% - even under 4%. Difficult to give this any sort of decent score - but it doesn’t deserve a really low score either.

Bottle. Pale gold color with a three finger white head. Aroma is light stone fruit and mild peppery spice. Near medium body with chewy carbonation. Flavor is light caramel, spicey hop, light stone fruit juice. Finishes a bit citric around the edges. Flavorful enough to engage the attention. Didn’t really notice the alcohol. Good job there.

Botella. Hazy deep golden colour with a lot of floaties. Nice creamy white head. Nice aroma of sweet ripe fruits with some yeast. Good lightly sparkling mouthfeel. The flavour has a good ripe fruitiness with a soft bitterness, caramel and alcohol. Dry alco fruity finish.
