draft at maproom. i wish i hadn’t lost my rating of this. i really liked it. it was pretty normal pale brown clear appearance with decent 1/2 inch head. smell was strong and of honeyed almonds with coriander. taste was brilliantly balanced, plenty of sweet honey front, balanced fruity hop back side. zero alcohol flavor really. i’ll find that note somewhere.

Bottled. Golden color with a amazing fluffy foamy, looks like a ice cream or snow, fantastic! Aroma is sweet and malty some alcohol notes, flavor is balanced between spicy and sweety, some honey and fruity notes, alcohol presents too. Good! Mouthfeel is refreshing. Too complex beer!

Português: Cerveja dourada, com uma espuma maravilhosa, parece mais um sorvete um monte de neve em cima do copo. Aroma adocicado e maltado, notas de álcool. Sabor equilibrado entre o picante e o doce, notas de mel e frutas, complexo demais. Retrogosto refrescante.

This is one of my new favorite beers, piraat has a strong aroma and has the appearance of a golden beer, ist like a angle pissing on my tongue

This just had to be the first beer I tried in my new set of Piraat glasses. Huge head on this heavy ale. Nice and smooth with a good blend of malts and hops resulting in a strong ale. A spicy-fruit flavor.

I had this beer on draft. My initial smell was of banana and pineapple. You could also taste the banana and pineapple, as well as the spices. This is definitely on my list of favorites. It had a thick head, it hid the alcohol very well, and it went down very smoothly.

Bottled 33cl. A hazy golden orange beer with an airy white head. Aroma is sweet, fruity and alcoholic. Taste is also very fruity, yeasty and spicy. Notes of alcohol and honey. Dry and alcoholic end

Tap. Slightly hazy golden body, small white head, banana Belgian yeast nose. Typical tripel flavors, with banana, pineapple, spices, some yeastiness, some citrus (orange, lemon). Hides alcohol well.
