This was the first beer to come out of our vats, back in 1985, making it the Brouwerij ‘t IJ classic beer. It is a ‘tripel’, the category reserved for the stronger blonde beers crafted in the Belgian tradition, and Zatte more than lives up to expectations. It’s a full-bodied, golden beer with a scent of fresh fruit mingled here and there with a hint of grain. The flavour is slightly sweet, ending with a fine, dry aftertaste. A delicious classic to be enjoyed in all seasons.

Clear golden pour with a small white head. Aromas of ripe fruit (banana?), sweet white bread, marmalade. Taste is (sweet) citrus, candied fruit, malt, yeast and a hint of spice. Slightly boozy finish. Nice one.

A small bottle purchased from AMS supermarket Albert Heijn, and drunk at the airport hotel. Aroma: slightly sour grass. Appearance: clear honey amber, 2-3mm. off-white head. Palate: full-bodied and oily, average carbonation; warm and lingering finish. Taste: medium-sweet with biscuit, almond; the alcohol is discreet. Nothing out of the ordinary but just what I needed at the time.

Pours a very hazy murky orange with a white head. Aroma of fruits, yeast, orange peel, some spices. This is remarkably drinkable tripel and I very much enjoyed it. It has encouraged me to seek out more from this brewery.
