Trillium Fated Farmer: Asian Pear
Wild Ale - 6.9% ABV Pete Pretty sour and maybe a little salty. It's got a very distinct fruity flavor that is nothing like any beer I'd ever had before (7/27/18), and I have to assume that's the Asian pear. It's different and delicious. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |
|
Trillium Fated Farmer: Blackberry
Wild Ale - 7.4% ABV Pete Really sour with a mild blackberry flavor that's definitely there, just enough not to be entirely overpowered by the sourness. I like the sour, so this works for me. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |
|
Trillium Fated Farmer: Fruit Salad Batch 2
Wild Ale - 7% ABV Pete Super sour, a tiny salty edge, and plenty of fruit in the finish. Unreal. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |
|
Trillium Fated Farmer: Peach
Wild Ale - 6.1% ABV Pete A touch funky, pretty sour, and a little hint of fruit at the end to balance it. Really good. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |
|
Trillium Fated Farmer: Pinot Noir
Wild Ale - 7.8% ABV Pete A really good sour that seems fairly generic (and delicious) until the VERY end, when you get hit in the face with pinot noir flavor. Incredible. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |
|
Trillium Fated Farmer: Plum
Wild Ale - 6.9% ABV Pete I was expecting this to be a different color, but don't let that detract from the experience. The flavor was as I've come to expect from this series: pretty high on the sour scale, a little funky, and a little fruity. Exactly what I want. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |
|
Trillium Fated Farmer: Pluot
Wild Ale - 7.4% ABV Pete Pretty sour and a tiny bit funky. Like all the others of this series, it's great, but I think the pluot is a tiny bit too subtle. It's there, but a little more fruit flavor would go a long way. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |
|
Trillium Fated Farmer: Seyval Blanc
Wild Ale - 8.2% ABV Pete Quite sour at first, but highly carbonated, so that mellows it out a bit in the finish. A little hint of saltiness and really subtle fruit if you think about it. Excellent. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |
|
Trillium For the Sake of the Sea
American IPA - 7.1% ABV Pete Nice and creamy with some good tropical fruit flavors, but it comes off as coconut to me, a little too much. Apparently that's just from the Sabro hops, so I may have to avoid beers with those. Coconut should be reserved for stouts. Ratings: Pete - 4 Shyoh's |
|
Trillium Fort Point
Pale Ale - 6.6% ABV Pete Described as "our standard daily-drinker", and I can't really disagree. It's bright and citrusy but still fairly mellow. Super easy to drink, making me want like 8 of them. I had this later after a few others, and it's even better then. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |
|
Trillium Fort Point - Mosaic Dry Hopped
Pale Ale - 6.6% ABV Pete A little creamy, but not overwhelming. The aroma and flavor is mostly dry piney-ness. Easy to drink, much like the original. Another great one. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |
|
Trillium Fort Point - Nelson Dry Hopped
Pale Ale - 6.6% ABV Pete Awesome pale ale. Smells and tastes super citrusy, and finishes with a little dry peppery-ness, presumably from the Nelson hops. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |
|
Trillium Free Rise Citra Dry Hopped
Saison - 7.3% ABV Pete Very good beer. Nice spicy saison plus a little pop of hops at the end. Enough flavor to stand up to the Thai red curry dinner I had with it, which is saying something. Ratings: Pete - 4 Shyoh's |
|
Trillium Headlong
Imperial IPA - 8.3% ABV Pete Piney with some citrus flavor going down, finishing a bit malty. Really great balanced IPA, much different from the typical Trillium. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |
|
Trillium Heavy Mettle
Imperial IPA - 9.3% ABV Pete A bit different than expected based on the color. It's got a piney aroma, and is quite bitter, but not too bitter to make it undrinkable. Ratings: Pete - 4 Shyoh's |
|
Trillium Itty-Bitty Goose
American Pale Ale - 5% ABV Pete Very flavorful. A good citrus background, and this came off as ultra-creamy to me. It wasn't described that way, but I thought it was, almost to a fault. Still a great beer. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |
|
Trillium Launch Beer
Pale Ale - 5.7% ABV Pete Delicious, crush-able beer. Strong mango and pineapple flavors in there but a crisp finish means it goes down extremely fast. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |
|
Trillium Lineage Spelt w/Cucumber and Pear
Sour Saison - 7.3% ABV Pete Cucumber water meets sour beer. I don't know how, but it really works. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |
|
Trillium Lovells Island
IPA - 6.8% ABV Pete A little bit of creaminess, with flavor dominated by fruitiness, maybe a touch underripe too, making it not overpowering with its sweetness. Really good. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |
|
Trillium Marblehead Lighthouse
Imperial IPA - 8.9% ABV Pete Unreal IPA. Orange and a hint of lime going down with some creaminess, finishing with some grapefruit and citrus rind to balance the fruit. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |
|
Trillium Melcher Street
IPA - 7.2% ABV Pete Outstanding IPA with a little creaminess (on the low side for Trillium), good citrus flavors, and a decent amount of dank to it. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |
|
Trillium Mettle
Imperial IPA - 8.4% ABV Pete Incredible balanced beer. A hint of creaminess, a touch of bitter, good amount of pine, and then a blast of citrus in the finish. Love it. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |
|
Trillium Night & Day
Imperial Stout - 11.5% ABV Pete Really tough to top this one. You don't really get the booziness, just deep rich chocolate and tons of coffee along with some peppery notes. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |
|
Trillium Night & Day: Toasted Almond & Vanilla
Imperial Stout - 12.7% ABV Pete Super obviously nutty and vanilla-y. It's an incredible beer, and hides the booze super well. I'm nitpicking here, but I'd prefer a touch less sweet. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |
|
Trillium Night & Day: Vanilla, Cacao, and Chili
Imperial Stout - 12.7% ABV Pete All the flavors of a delicious, complex stout going down. Dominated by pepper in the finish. It's hot, but tolerable. I should note that this caused issues with my intestines, but I'd do it again. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |
|
Trillium Oenobier: Chardonnay
Wild Ale - 11% ABV Pete Collaboration with Monkish (haven't had any of those as of 6/3/19). This is pretty funky, and I don't think the Chardonnay is the right complement to that. Not my favorite. Ratings: Pete - 3 Shyoh's |
|
Trillium Past Present Pretzel
Imperial IPA - 7.5% ABV Pete Awesome beer. Smell is super citrusy, with a hint of lemon. The taste echoes the smell, with some melon notes to it as well. Obviously I had to have it with pretzels, but this would be great with or without food. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |
|
Trillium Peach Super Soak
Sour - 7.1% ABV Pete Puckering-ly sour, but also fruity. Awesome sour. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |
|
Trillium Peanut Butter Bite
Pastry Stout - 6.5% ABV Pete Literally tastes like a Reese's Cup. That means it's on the sweet side, but I don't care. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |
|
Trillium Permutation Series #49
Imperial IPA - 8.3% ABV Pete Great IPA. Citrusy and creamy. It leans way more to the creamy side than most, almost like a stout, which took focus away from some of the IPA goodness, but it's still a great beer. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |
|
Trillium Permutation Series #54
Blonde - 4.4% ABV Pete Tastes like a macro light lager. Stick to their other stuff. Ratings: Pete - 3 Shyoh's |
|
Trillium Permutation Series #55
Gose - 5.7% ABV Pete Delicious beer. A little salty, tons of fruit flavor with a hint of sweetness but not too much. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |
|
Trillium Permutation Series #58
Imperial IPA - 8.8% ABV Pete Awesome, per usual. Creamy and piney IPA going down that finishes almost like orange juice. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |
|
Trillium Permutation Series #61
Imperial IPA - 9.3% ABV Pete Definitely much closer to a traditional IPA than most of Trillium's offerings, and a great take on it. Spicy and maybe even a little malty up front along with citrus (mostly) and pine hoppy flavors, with a little bitterness in the finish. Alcohol is well-hidden. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |
|
Trillium Permutation Series #69
Imperial Stout - 14.4% ABV Pete Definitely taste vanilla and peanut butter, not so much coffee. Finishes boozy and bourbon-y. I had it with apple pie and vanilla ice cream, which was a great combo for the flavors in this beer. Outrageously good, and quite expensive. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |
|
Trillium Permutation Series #75
Belgian IPA - 7.8% ABV Pete Fruity and delicious with a little bit of bitterness. Doesn't really taste Belgian, but that's fine, it's damn good. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |
