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.

Murky pale orange with thick white head. Yeasty citrus nose wiht malt and a sour note. Med weight with a sweetish mid palate high sparkle on the tongue and drying finish. Malt with some roasted notes and light spice all show on the palate. Not bad though not my favorite triple.

An amber/orange color, hazy, with a full white head; effervescent, with full lacing and a nice film. Aroma is of pineapple, apples, pears and other fruity esters. Flavor has a sweet start and bitter finish, dry and yeasty. Palate is smooth, medium bodied with low co2. Quite one-dimensional; smells like a tripel, but the finish is surprisingly dull and bitter.

This golden colored ale pours with a creamy white head. The aroma is very hoppy, as is the flavor. The taste is initially sweet and fruity with a more bitter finish. Overall, a very respectable tripel-style ale.

Yeasty aroma, nice golden color. Creamy, fruity flavor with a sour aftertaste. 8% alcohol is masked well in this tripel. Zatte didn’t lay an egg with me.

Fluffy floral fragrances frolicking with fickle dry green hops...Heathery herb handsomeness hugging hypnotized peaches and assorted pale fruit...An airy agreeableness achieving adventurous accompaniment...

Sweet marzipan malt and yeast with spicy, flowery hops in the aroma. Hazy, golden yellow with initially strong white head that recedes to cover. Malt dominated, sweet flavour has plenty of tropical fruits and a light tartness toward the finish. Very tasty. Smooth and creamy in the mouth. Bottle enjoyed with MartinT and Rastacouere at Spuyten Duyvil (Brooklyn, New York).

Bottle at Spuyten Duyvil. Hazy golden. Light white head. Weird citrus aroma, phenolic. Yeast component gives an odd fruity/creamy profile that reminds me of cat litter, but to be polite, I’ll say kaffir lime and zest. Palate is very fruity, citrusy with notes of mango and peach. Mostly sweet (powder sugar), but also lightly tart (lime). Rather silky body, medium in size, feeling ample. Once again an odd beer from T IJ which positions itself middle of the range among my tripels thanks to originality and an attractive apperance and mouthfeel.
