’t IJ Zatte

Brewed by Brouwerij ’t IJ
Style: Abbey Tripel
Amsterdam, Netherlands

Serve in Trappist glass, Tulip

The color is kinda orang and cloudy. Yeasty, sweet malt aroma leads to a big taste. It leaves a bitterness on the bottom of the tongue. A little citrusy and tangy too. Huge brew that doesn’t quit. I should mention that I sampled this at the ’t Ij brewery and it was delicious. (Be sure to get there early enough to grad a table. TIP: take the #10 tram there).

Bottle: Poured a murky orange with a medium creamy white head. Aroma is a fruit and spice. Taste is a tangy fruit more toward a saison flavor than a triple on my pallet. Finish is acidic.

bottle - obtained as a bonus beer from Hopdog - Thanks Steve! - poured hazy amber with a tall white head that lingers and laces quite well. Aroma is yeast,oranges, spices and a touch of honey all blended together. Flavor is much the same. Beautiful on the palate. So smooth for a triple. Balanced beautifully and no alcohol to be found in this one. Very nice tripel.. I loved it..

Bottle. Onder De Ooiver, Amsterdam. Blonde, fruity sweet malts with pleasant yeast. Hints of chalk in finish.

I can quite understand austinpowers rating but..it is always a difference tasting it at the brewery, that’s for sure! Nice smokey, orange aroma. Orange body with a frothy head. Nice wheaty, lemon-y and vanilla flavor. Medium bitter finish.

Bottled 33cl. Ordered from www.bierzwerg.de. Unmemorable. Very yeasty. Pear is rather present throughout.

Hazy golden colored brew. Yeasty, citrus aroma. Very nice yeasty, creamy tripel!

Bottle (in NZ). Pours a hazy gold with a large foamy head. Citrus and passionfruit on the nose. A zesty mouthfeel, but slightly vegetal as well as more of those citrus flavours.
