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.

reakt (946) - Greater London, ENGLAND - JUN 1, 2007
UPDATED: SEP 1, 2007 bottled. Amber with a massive creamy head typical of al ’t lj brews. Very fine sediment. Aroma of grapefruit and peach. Taste to match with strong alcohol, some spice. Something artificial in the finish - like chemicals. Sweet finish. Good.

Bosskie (213) - NETHERLANDS - MAY 31, 2007
A bio-tripel (!), 8%, 33cl bottle. Very cloudy, hazy beer, with a good fizz, small head and lots of yeast drifting around. Golden, light honey colour. Smells quite alcoholic with hints of mandarin, cherries... even some coffee there? Well balanced bitter-sweet flavour, yeasty, bitter palate with hints of orange peels. It kinda alternates between a tripel and a fruit beer....

nick76 (3458) - Tampa, Florida, USA - MAY 24, 2007
The aroma has sugar, yeast, malt,incense, and spices. The appearance is deep hazy gold with a small head. The flavor is like the aroma with the complexities of the yeast bringing everything from fruit to cheese to spice. The palate is thin but smooth. This is one of those really complex almost off tasting beers but maybe mine was damaged by age as it seems to have a date of 05.

Angeloregon (2054) - Portland, Oregon, USA - MAY 23, 2007
Poured a small IPA-like head. Nice lacing. Spicy and fruity orange nose and tawny orange body. This was like a fruit cocktail or a tropical pop sickle. Incredible desert-worthy beer. Eggselent!

thebeertourist (3981) - Oslo, NORWAY - MAY 23, 2007
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.

pintocb (585) - Darsville, Georgia, USA - MAY 4, 2007
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.

pubbe (493) - Højbjerg, DENMARK - APR 19, 2007
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.

goozen (1783) - Leiden, NETHERLANDS - APR 18, 2007
Bottle 0,33ltr: Dark orange coloured tripel with fruity, honey taste. Very decent bio-beer.
