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.

RichardGretton (3711) - Leicestershire, ENGLAND - DEC 14, 2008
Bottle. Vibrant cloudy golden beer with a very strong head. The aroma is grassy, herbal and spiced. The flavour is warming, yeasty and bitterish spiced. Overall a nice tasting mildly spiced beer.

ekstedt (3624) - Göteborg, SWEDEN - JUL 13, 2008
Bottled (33 cl) at het Amsterdamertje, Göteborg, Sweden. Hazy golden with medium white head. Fruity aroma with notes of wild strawberries, spicy & earthy notes. Medium bodied and soft carbonation. Very well balanced with a light initial sweetness followed by a firm dryness. A great saison-like beer.

notalush (3616) - Denver, Colorado, USA - MAR 16, 2004
Cloudy golden appearance with a small but foamy head - smells of oranges and apples mostly, with a hint of must - something about this tastes like canned peaches - some bitterness and an attempt at a fruity complexity that it doesn't quite completey achieve, leaving a soft, somewhat thin finish - a tasty, valiant effort, but falls short.

OleR (3510) - Oslo, NORWAY - SEP 27, 2006
UPDATED: OCT 4, 2006 Bottle. Medium white head upon a hazy golden/orange body. Fresh acidic fruit aromas; oranges, green apples and dried fruits. Flavor is sweet and fruity with yeast and spices. Nice long acidic/bitter finish. Alcohol is well hidden. Smooth mothfeel. Very nice.

KyotoLefty (3480) - Kyoto, JAPAN - AUG 19, 2010
Draught at the brewery. Slightly dark gold. Aroma of honey, lemon, grains. Sweet lemon-orange flavor, with honey, cereals, low hopping. Very fruity, quite sweet and spicy. Rich, thick, smooth, with a tangy edge too.

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.

Jukkabro (3457) - Tampere, FINLAND - DEC 12, 2006
Dark yellow colored, cloudy appearance. Medium sized white head. Again this fine traditional T’Ij-aroma: rich dryness with hops and obvious yeast, fruits, apple, lemon and spices also there. Medium bodied. Even better flavor with orange, strong yeast, apple and hops. Crispy palated.
