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 at ‘t Arendsnest. Hazy dirty gold color with a small white head. Smells like a tripel with a touch of citrus. Very smooth. Very creamy. Very good mouthfeel. Flavor is lightly bitter, with a citrus peel hint, over pale malt. Finishes clean and bitter. Nice ongoing flavor of fruity and/or herbal hop.

No, it doesn’t match the best of Belgium. It doesn’t even match the best of Holland. Probably the most disappointing beer of our visit to the brewery. Draft. Pours dull, dirty orange-brown with thin, off-white head. Faint orange nose. Mildly sweet with orange-citric notes and light bitterness. Fairly thick mouthfeel. A bit bland for its strength. Not bad, but still a letdown after the others.

Bottle. Dark golden / orange colour with an off-white head. Aroma is fruit, yeast, apple. Flavour is fruit, yeast, sour, apple, sweetness, hop. Untypical tripel, but still a nice beer..

Bottle. An unclear, cloudy orang-golden beer with a small, off-white head. Small floaties as well. Evident bretty aroma with fruityness, yeast and sourness. A slight alcohol touch as well. There’s also a little rubbery note, but so hidden it doesn’t disturb at all. Medium to full body, sweetness in the background, sourish and effervescent. The flavor is fruity, sourish and funky with yeast and barnyard. Quite bitter finish, but there’s no problem finding the sourish, barnyardish flavors, and it’s quite fruity as well. Cute, untypical tripel. (080426)

Cloudy and slight dark straw color with a big white head that recedes, leaving a bunch of lacing behind. Slightly sweet and spicy aroma, some coriander there, also a tad bit of funk. The taste is a bit murky (in a good way) and sweet with some funk in the finish. Another interesting t’IJ - I like their funk character.

Thanks to Solan for suggesting this. Pours cloudy orange gold with lots of carbonation and a thick fluffy white head. Citrus, yeast, and sour aroma. Has a medium bodied, with a sour, orange citrus taste. Very smooth drinking despite the big carbonation. Finishes dry and bitter. An interesting blend of flavors, very good.
