Dec 15, 2006 Pours light cloudy honey. Full white head. Smells of abbey ester goodness, but not a strong aroma. Fairly dry, malty fruity flavor.

Dec 12, 2006 Bottle. Pours a cloudy straw color with a full off-white head, decent lacing. Aroma is citrus, spice, yeast, pepper. Flavor is banana, clove, yeast, alcohol. Palate is medium bodied, spicy, dry, highly carbonated. This is the one that got me into craft beer.

Dec 5, 2006 This is one of the best beers I have had all year. Amazing citrus and spice in the nose and beautiful bubblegum and pear notes. This is dry, not cloying but sill full bodied. A real feat in brewing, this is a wonderful beer!

Nov 28, 2006 Batch 77 bottle. Cloudy yellow/orange with a frothy off-white head leaving spots of lacing. Tart yeasty bread aroma with spice, banana, flowers, and citrus. Bittersweet cakey malt flavor with a lot of orange peel, coriander and pear notes throughout. Warm bitterness on the finish. Some dusty black pepper in the aftertaste. Mostly smooth palate with slight carbonation. Very good, probably the best American tripel out there.

Nov 27, 2006 Batch 81. Pours a clear gold with fizy white head. Aroma of citrus, spice, orange, and sweet malt. Flavors of spice, banana, orange, some grass and peppery notes, and a bit of hops. I enjoyed the four much more.

Nov 23, 2006 Batch 85. Pours straw-gold with one-inch white head that fades to a cap and laces heavily. Opaque, large amount of yeast. In the nose: lemon, coriander, orange peel, slight peppery spice. Taste: pronounced malt sweetness, heavily spiced, small amount of citrus, some honey as advertised, finishes indistinct, slightly bitter. On the tongue, well-rounded, high carbonation but thick.

Nov 23, 2006 750 ml bottle from Thiachilie. Batch 78. Really a wonderful beer. Pale gold with a beautiful snow white head. Loads of lace. Pretty complex aroma. Citrus, spice, dish soap, pepper. Pretty much all of that in the flavor as well, along with a nice candi sugar sweetness. Full on the palate, with a nice bitter finish. Paired well with my Thanksgiving dinner.
