Piraat Triple Hop
Piraat Triple Hop Dry-hopped Ale, alc. 10.5% by Vol. Product of Belgium. Brewed & Bottled: Br. Van Steenberge. Ertvelde, Belgium.
I've been a fan of Piraat for quite some time and now, at last, there's a triple hop, dry-hopped version? Sign me up!
Appearance: lightly hazed, bright golden amber hue, snow-white, lacy head. Beautiful.
Aroma: dry, spicy, floral, bristling with noble hops. Gorgeous.
Taste: Bone-dry. Ultra-hoppy. Or, uber-, that works. Citrus notes abound, little traces of pine, all types of spicy delights. Pear, apple, pepper. Mmm. Long, spicy, hoppy finish. Lean-bodied, light malt character. Goddamn it, this is good. It hits me right where I live.
Any gobbledy-gook on the label? Nary a whiff of it. It is what it is, and it is wonderful. More, please!
