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.

Ungstrup (22906) - Oamaru, NEW ZEALAND - JUL 14, 2003
This is an unclear orange beer with a small but disappearing head. The aroma is filled with notes of caramel, coriander, cinnamon, oranges, and cloves. The flavor has a weak beginning, a little fruity, a little yeasty - then it prickles the tongue, to turn weak again compared to the 8% ABV. But the ending makes up for it all - with a great bitterness with notes of oranges, cloves, and coriander.

(Bottle 33 cl) Orangey golden, very unclear with a thick, thick, rocky head. Dry and distinctly bitter, notes of malt and yeast - but not really any traces of sweetness. 120504

omhper (15600) - Stockholm, SWEDEN - JAN 26, 2007
Draught at Monk’s Café, Stockholm. Hazy golden, minimal head. Yeasty grassy nose. Medium bodied with soft mouthfeel. Dryish with some citrus and the evident yeasty ’t IJ house character. Still it’s balanced and suprisingly drinkable for it’s size. An invidualtistic, very likable beer.
