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.

Fluffy floral fragrances frolicking with fickle dry green hops...Heathery herb handsomeness hugging hypnotized peaches and assorted pale fruit...An airy agreeableness achieving adventurous accompaniment...

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.

0.33l- Straw colored liquid under large ivory head. Sour raspberries on nose. Sour seltzarlike mouthfeel, a lot of lambic notes here. Not what I expected, but in a good way. This is different, something to remeber for a change of pace.

Picked up at Beer World of Largo. The 330mL bottle has a date that looks to be March 2005. Is that the best by date? The beer poured out a slightly hazy light copper with off white head. A nice sediment cake was left behind. The aroma is sweet with grapes and apples along with hints of sweet caramel and yeast. The flavor is much like the aroma with fruitiness up front consisting of Concord grape jelly, Gala apples and plums followed by caramel candy. This is a nice mix of flavors. The finish includes hints of yeast and some light fruit tartness.

33cl bottle. Very dusty and dry on the nose with the basement notes developing into some richer, sweeter banana estery aromas. Slightly grassy and musty as well with a touch of cheddar cheese. Subtle and surprisingly complex. Pours a bright gold/copper with a nice sized creamy white head. Plenty of dustiness on the tongue. A mild yeast spice and earthiness. Bread dough and cheese. An interesting and reserved fruitiness comes out of the yeast pour. Very light bretty notes as well toward the bottom of the glass. Creamy on the tongue with lively, but not overpowering carbonation. 8% is deftly hidden. Far from my favorite style, but well crafted nonetheless. Thanks Alan!

Orange yellow beer with a huge and beige head. Aroma is strongly sour, green apples, yeast, fruitness; simple, but nice aroma. Taste is fruitfull, some spicyness, green apples and house-made sourness is balanced, but easily to notice. Medium palate, quite lot of carbonation, but still nice to drink. Again, unique beer from ’t IJ, if you like unique taste of brewer, then this beer will taste also. Medium spicy, sour tripel, easily to enjoy.

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....
