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.

330 ml bottle. Orange golden colour. Clear. Small head. Same brett aroma as found in the dubbel. Apricots and strawberries. High in carbonation. Mellow maltiness. Quite light malt flavour. Some drying floral hops. Fruity and a little grassy finish. Infected. Seems like a problem at the brewery.

Small white head. Orange body. Acidic, lambic-like barnyard aroma. Acidic, spicy, fruity bitter chalky tobacco taste. Clear traces of brett. :-/ This is infected, just as the Natte I had last night. Yeasty taste. Probably a lot better when not infected. Should re-rate. (0.33l bottle, thanks to Knut Albert.)

Very large offwhite head of fine bubbles. Very dense and creamy on top. Zesty orange, spices and yeast in the aroma. Nice meld of aromas for this triple. Very good carbonation. Reduces to a thick sticky sheet of lacing. Color is a slightly cloudy golden orange. Lightly sweet and malty. More orange zest and spices. Quite the good balance and very tasty. Little alcohol warming. Finish is clean with a little lingering sweetnes. I am enjoying this brew quite a lot!

Dark yellow colored, cloudy appearance. Medium sized white head. Again this fine traditional T’Ij-aroma: rich dryness with hops and obvious yeast, fruits, apple, lemon and spices also there. Medium bodied. Even better flavor with orange, strong yeast, apple and hops. Crispy palated.

33 cL. Bottle. It pours a medium pale color with a white head and slick lacing. The nose has fresh fruit and malt aromas. The flavor is spicy, and full of malt but also with a tart acidy finish. It has a nice dry and crisp mouthfeel. Very well done beer.

Bottle sampled with Stegosaurus. Pours hazy gold with a white head. Aroma of fruit, citrus, and spices. The flavor is fruit, alcohol, citrus, and spice. Great beer.

Pours golden colored with lasting effervescence. Sediment begins flowing out of the bottle after pouring about six ounces. The chunks just hang out in the glass like bubble tea. Smells pretty light and sugary. Tastes malty sweet with the slightest tang and a decent hop finish. I would only drink this again if someone bought it for me.
