Piraat Ale
A - Served with a bright, golden body...the head was big and white but it fell quickly...decent lacing S - Where are the hops?...I was surprised when this beer smelled more like a tripel...sweet, candied sugar, some yeast, and fruit T - The taste starts off leading with the tripel flavors...sweet up front with those candied sugars and caramel malt...the middle is a giant blast of fruit...apple, orange, peach, pineapple...very nice...finally in the finish you can detect some faint hops...they aren't as strong as I expected but they are there...alcohol is hot M - Medium bodied...great fruit flavor...some lingering hops...too much alcohol D - I did not realize this clocked in at 10% and it's pretty evident...the tripel (Belgian) flavors were real nice but the IPA characteristics were put towards the back
