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.

Bottle at Chriso. Bit of a gusher. It pours golden with a small white head. The nose is doughy, sweet, green apple, pear drops, lemon sherbet and hay. The taste is crisp, doughy, sherbet, green apple, melon, pear, earth, hay, spice and warming alcohol with a dry, sweetish finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation.So-so.

Bottle at home, bought at the Bedford Beer Festival last year. Dark yellow and cloudy. Smells of banana, yeast rolls, sweet spices. Sweet on the tongue and throughout the taste profile. Some slight bitter notes in the finish. The full carbonation gives it a pleasant mouthfeel. A gorgeous tipple if not among the best Tripels.

At the brewery from the tap: Pours a cloudy gold with a white head. Aroma is yeasty, fruity, but somehow not characteristic of the tripel style... Taste is actually a good bit hoppy. The beer is a wee bit sweet. It leaves a lingering aftertaste. Quite dry. Not bad at all.
