Piraat Ale
Poured into a sifter. Interesting bottle art. A - Slightly hazy golden orange brew which produced a nice big layer of froth. Lacing as well as overall presentation was simply immaculate. S - Fruits and yeast notes for the most part. A bit pungent and slightly acrid initially. After a few more breaths, it does become rather enticing. T - I must admit I was completely blown away once I read the bottle and discovered it's 10.5% abv, it masks it completely. Big yeast and citrus notes, making it both mildly bitter and sweet. This is one to take in and think about. M - Smooth medium body, mildly carbonated, and the palate suffers a slight burn, probably from the high alcohol content. D - Abv definitely causes a hit here, this certainly is not an anytime brew, however, it is a wonderfully complex yet balanced sipper. Given it's name, I never would have expected something so refined. Find this one and try it, you will not be disappointed!
