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.

A reall nice strong Belgian. Lots of fruits, citrus notes. Sweet and carmel finish. Warming me up nicely.

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.

Pours a light golden color with a good amount of head. The aroma is of spices and perhaps a hint of citrus. I had no idea that this was as high of an alcohol content as is did, it was very well masked. There is a slightly sweet undertone to the flavor. There wad maybe just a bit too much carbonation, but still a ok brew.

Julio’s Belgian Beer Festival. Sample. Surprised by this one as I liked it way more than expected. This is a great example of a belgian strong. I’m surprised it doesn’t get rated higher.

750 ml corked and caged bottle. Pours a copper/gold color, like apple juice. Thin off white head that recedes quikly leaving no lace. Aroma is citrus fruits and honey. Smooth, moderate body with low carbonation. Flavor is sweet honey, some hops notes as well as tropical citrus flavors. Also, a smooth buttery flavor. Very enjoyable.

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

Got this in a mix-6 of beers from Belgium. Unfortunately I drank this at a Halloween party and didn’t take good tasting notes beyond the numbers.

Cloudy orange appearance with a thin white head. It has a sweet citrus nose that fits the sweet fruity initial flavor, followed by a spicy and slightly acidic taste. Finishes with a heavy alcohol feel. Quite possibly my favorite Belgian ale.
