Papegaei is a blond beer with an alcohol volume of 8%. The beer is lightly drinkable and has a rich bouquet of hops. Papegaei is brewed with fresh hop flowers, which means that the flowers are dried but not turned into an extract or pellets, so they keep their natural form (and taste!). The mash of Papegaei contains barley, wheat and oats. Papegaei is a top fermented beer with a second fermentation in the bottle. The beer is neither filtered nor pasteurized.
Papegaei is brewed and bottled by Adam Verstraete at the Deca brewery in Woesten.

(Bottle, Café Rose Red, Brugge, 17 July 2012) Hazy golden colour with frothy, white head. Fruity, slightly hoppy nose with notes of dried fruit, citrus, lemon peel and hay. Fruity, malty taste with citrus, apricots, hay and grassy hops. More than medium body, slightly sweetish with a gentle bitterness. Nice one.

26/VI/2012 - 33cl bottle @ home - BB: X/14 (2012-659) Thanks to Erwin for sharing the beer!
Note: had this beer many times before, and always assumed I had already rated it. Silly me! :p Little cloudy blond beer, huge white creamy head, stable, pretty adhesive. Aroma: pretty floral, herbal, bit grassy, yeast touch. MF: ok carbon, medium to full body. Taste: ripe summer fruits, bit sweet, candi sugar, bitter hops, citrus. Aftertaste: grassy hops, herbal, bit spicy, some oranges, sugary.

Brown 33cl bottle, best before June 2012, poured into an ’Augustijn’ badged chalice in June 2011. The second beer of an ’odd-ball beer tasting evening’. The beer is a dull golden colour, slight haze showing. Thin white covering for a head. Very little in the way of smells, semi-sweet summer garden hints, but no real aroma to talk about. This is a sweet fruity beer, with a yeasty front that struggles to hide the 8.0%ABV alcohol content this beer packs. The overall feeling is fine, in fact very pleasant, the alcohol sits well within the strength and depth of the brew. I’m a fan of the sweeter beers and this is my sort of brew: the beer is well balanced, a little too sweet for some maybe, but in my opinion this is good stuff.

Dorée avec légère brume, col blanc épais. Arôme de levure double belge, profile houblonné fruité. Bière au palais épais, levure belge restant assez douce et vers un style abbaye, houblon style allemand avec une carbonnation active. Note houblonnée de citron mais aussi sucrée rappelant l’abricot, le tout étant fleuri. Malt pils et fin cara, alcool passe bien.

Bottle @ home. Clear pale yellow color, small fully diminishing white head. Smell is lightly malty, lightly sweet. Taste light to medium sweet and lightly bitter. Medium carbo and body. Nothing too exiting, but nothing wrong either.

Golden blond colour. Medium bodied, quite smooth and creamy texture. Low carbonation. Well balanced flavour of grains and sweetness. The pleasure comes from the mouthfeel not so much from the flavour.
