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.

Reddish amber. Rapidly vanishing ivory head. Intense aromas of white flowers, bakery, citrus rind, coriander... Full body encompassing a good mixture of bitter and sour. Powerful, savoury, persistent. Strong, complex and nice.

330ml bottle @ Nurkka, Helsinki
Pours dark orange with a smooth head. Aroma of yeast, ripe fruits and earthy notes. Taste is sweetish, yeasty and ripe fruity with some stuffy notes and apricot. Finish is sweetish, yeasty and ripe fruity. Okay tripel.

330 ml. bottle drank @ De Gollem. Hazy dark sparkling orange with a big white head & nice lacing. Totally murky brown once I added the yeast. Nose is some sweetish grapefruit with a big quite BE ester profile, grain alcohol pear. Taste is weird grainy very sweet esters, alcoholic pear, grain genever, alcohol, huge esters, huge floral bitter esters, alcoholic ester pear,… Boozy & effervescent body. Harsh & too BE in all the wrong way, huge harsh unpleasant boozy esters, little else to say.

Shared 330 ml bottle at local tasting. Pale golden colour, moderate white head. Spicy and yeasty aroma, not unpleasant, but not your typical tripel. Dry flavour, okay but not very interesting,mild spicy notes, but again: not your typical tripel.
