Blom (605), Odense, Denmark Apr 12, 2008 Hazy orange with a small head. Perfumed aroma: coriander and orange. Very nice flavours, being both acid and sweet with a lot of yeasty notes. I liked it a lot.
punkrkr27 (342), Clawson, Michigan, USA Aug 17, 2008 Gold pour with a bit of sediment floating in it and a short lived fizzy white head. Sweet and dry aroma with a subtle hint of fresh fruit and slight funk. Very delicate, dry and sweet flavor with some lemon, grass and green apple. There’s just a faint hint of barnyard and little bit of pepperiness. Medium thin body with tingly carbonation. A very delicate an drinkable version of a triple. Bullit (504), Zeist, Netherlands Aug 13, 2008 Hazy golden colour, small white head. Sweet and smooth tripel, with grassy hops, light malty and some fruits. bb (2069), Martinez, California, USA Jul 26, 2008 Bottle. Amber beer with a huge off-white head. Yeasty, spicy, lemony aroma. Yeasty, lemony, light spice flavor with backing malt. Medium body. Lingering yeast, spice, banana, lemon, and malt. EithCubes (1796), Indiana, USA Jul 20, 2008 Bottle, as old as the Natte I recently had. Alcohol and slightly skunky grass nose, spices or rubbing alcohol here are making my eyes burn a bit just from scent. Just way too boozy. Hazy golden pour with a creamy, delicious -looking creamy white head. Sharp taste with pale malts, yeast, orange peel, clove, and other herbal spices. Dryish spicy end. Lightish oily body. Acidic. I think on another day, with a fresher sample, I’d like this one, but as is, it’s hard to give any love. Borresteijn (427), Amstelveen, Netherlands Jul 20, 2008 Bottle: Cloudy golden, thick white head. Aroma is funky, a bit spicy poo-ish, typical to IJ yeast, some sweetness, fruity aroma’s. Taste is fruity, a little sour, really smooth. On tap @ IJ brouwerij: Looks somewhat darker, small white head. Smells a bit less poo-ish. Taste is more sour and sweeter, more out of balance. Nevertheless, a good tripel.
