Commercial Description:
A golden Tripel-style ale. A little lighter in alcohol, but not in flavor, than Westmalle, and more drinkable. It matches the best of Belgium.

Bottle. Hazy, orangey amber with a small head and a bit of sediment. Fruity aroma, hinting of oranges. Flavours have the typical ’t IJ trademarks; fruity and spicy with strong hints of orange zest. Good carbonation and body. Nice.

Faint orangy type aroma. Cloudy butterscotch color. Thin mouthfeel with strong carbonation. Too much for a tripel. Malty and yeasty with some hints of citrus. Very subtle bitter finish.

Cloudy yellow colour with creamy off-white head of long duration. Friuts, fruitacids and flowers in the powerfull aroma. Friuts and yeast in the flavor. Average rather orangy finish.

Pours a pale, muddy orange-yellow with a small creamy off white head. Lots of particles and bubbles. Aroma has lots of fruityness from the yeast, some oranges and a little honey. A little spritzy mouthfeel. More powerful taste than you’d expect - not as light and fresh as the aroma. Lots of oranges in the flavour as well and generally sweet.

ChrisFest Pale and perfumed. Fairly dry. An attractive chalky ale - though lacking in range and depth.

Tap at T´Ij, march 07. Peachy, minerally, honeish with a salty finnish. Fruity and spicy aroma. Medium MF, velvety, silk. Clear golden color with a bit thin but lasting white head. Doesn´t seems to be a tripple, really swift and deceiving.

Bottle is dated August 2002. Dunno if that was bottling or best by date, but this one is old. Upon uncapping, the aroma was detectable from a few feet away, and when I got closer it pricked the nose. Hazy golden with a smallish head, decent lacing and retention. Very huge orange/citrus aroma with lesser notes of yeast and a trace of pepper. Actually similar aroma to Orval, but not quite. Surprisingly powerful aroma, flavor is a slight step down but still good. Medium bodied, a light sweetness. Enjoyable, I wonder what a fresh sample would bring.
