t IJ Columbus

On tap at Loosje. A very creamy, powerful ale. Orange flavor and orange color. Tastes of honey, peachy and very spicy, w/ coriander taste.

outta ye ole bottle...if you like golden ales that make you float, float with Columbus. looks nice but tastes better. honey and all that greet the taste buds. i’m all for it!

Huge off-white head of fine bubbles. Lots of carbonation. Reduces to a rocky foamy clump. Sweet orange aroma with apricots and spices. Lots of fruit and yeast and spices. Smells more like a belgian triple. Color is a hazy dark orange. Fizzy in the mouth with lots of spice and yeast. More fruit. Little tart and dry at the finish. An ok belgian but not all that great in comparison.

Heavy, strong yet refreshing, with the typical ’t Ij spice - very prominent coriander. Looks opaque and thick - it feels very opaque and thick on the palate too, with a heavy & full body. Nice and hoppy with an in-your-face taste & aroma - dry, piney and yeasty. Overall bold & strong. Nice one.

cloudy dark orange with a large cream colored wavy head. aroma of citrus, wood, olives, hops, oranges, pineapple. flavor is wood, yeast, marshmallows, and olives. must be aged in oak barrels. decent, but i hate the woody(olive) flavors.

Bottle. Orange. Off-white head. Aroma: Sulphur/egg. Flavor: Malt and a hint of apricot. Fruity finish.

Thick head on a dark golden coloured body. I drank it a a Dutch beer tasting, after a couple of less interesting brews, and I must admit it took me by surprise. Surprisingly good, although quite yeasty and strong, but I’d love to get drunk on it. Very enjoyable indeed.

11.2 oz bottle into a English Pint glass. Pours a crisp looking golden color with lots and lots of bubbles rising in the brew with a big foamy and pillowy white head. Floaties waver around with the bubbles. Lots of breads and yeasty smells waft off the brew. A bit of spices mixed in there as well. A bit of a sweet malt flavor comes in on the palate first, which then moves into a peppered and spicey yeast note that lingers for a bit. Kind of has this weird appley fruit thing going on past the spices, where it finishes out. The spice lingers for a quick minute. Kind of reminds me of a triple, but way more spiced. Enjoyable, but nothing to WOW about.
