De Dolle Arabier

Today's bonus beer is De Dolle Arabier a Golden Belgium Ale or a dead parrot joke







 


Appearance:

Hazy bronze rather than gold with large white fluffy head

Aroma:

Plum like fruitiness with a spicy/peppery hops.

Taste:

Tart fruit fill the mouth at first which fades to a mix of rich malt and peppery bitter hops. The finish is long and dominated by bitter peppery hops and some tart fruit with a hint of malt in the background, it is more complex then it sounds as you have the heat of the alcohol and also the pepperiness.

Overall:

Very nice and different I don't think I have had such a peppery beer before very unique and I like that it is lively beer so pour slow. It was original a summer beer and I can see why as it is very refreshing.

9.0/10
