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.

Chrism86 (294) - Melbourne, AUSTRALIA - JUL 9, 2009
Pours hazy golden orange with a decent, fizzy off white head. Nose is typical of t’ij beers, mildly tart frutis with some belgin yeast spice present too. Palate is more in line with what one would expect from a tripel. Lively carbonation that dries up the palate along with significant yeast spice and some relatively mild citrus fruit notes. Another pleasant albeit peculiar t’ij beer. Might have to do some research on the type of fermentation/yeast they use as house style is clearly evident.

330 ml bottle. BBE 09/2012.
Pours a beautiful hazy golden colour with a white thick head. Loads of visible bubbles. Aroma of sweet malts, yeast and sweet fruits. Flavour of sweet malts, sweet fruits such as orange with some sour notes, yeast, wheat, spices and some bread. Medium bodied, smooth mouthfeel and quite rough carbonation. Long, warming, fruity and yeasty finish. Becomes more refreshing when yeast is poured in. Nice and refreshing tripel.

Funky pinapple aroma. Pine-hop sweet triple. Not bad, i love the funky aroma/flavors.

Great soft white head on cloady golden liquid. A smell that seeps into the room. A very sweet triple I think which is easy to drink because of it’s creaminess. Bottle at Menno Boorsma, new label.

Bottle. Pours hazy golden orange with a big white head that lasts. Aroma is spicy citrus with a hint of caramel. Flavour is fairly similar to the aroma but with more tropical fruit, such as pineapple and passionfruit. Quite fizzy on the palate, this is a fair bit lighter, and more enjoyable, than the other beers I have had from this brewer.

Abio (1058) - Waasland, BELGIUM - FEB 24, 2011
Cloudy light orange coloured beer with a good sized head that holds pretty nice, and sticks good to the glass. The aroma is very malty, light hopped, fruits and decent spiced. The taste is about the same, sweet start, malty, light bittering hops, fruits and good spiced. Pretty good brew, with a very morderated biterness at the end.
