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 Guide Post: Citra, Simcoe
IPA - 6.9% ABV Pete Pretty dank, light body with a slightly peppery finish. Very drinkable. Ni.ce ABV. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |
|
Trillium HDHC All Citra Everything
Imperial New England IPA - 8.5% ABV Pete Pretty awesome beer. Super concentrated citrus flavor with a hint of dank to it too. Ratings: Pete - 6 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 Headroom
Imperial New England IPA - 8% ABV Pete I got this on release day 2020. Apparently this is popular, and I can see why, as I'm currently debating whether it should unseat Doubleganger as my favorite IPA. Papaya, peach, and orange flavors come through going down. It's creamy but not overwhelmingly so, and there's a hint of earthy/peppery flavors in the finish. Really complex delicious beer that is outrageously drinkable. Ratings: Pete - 7 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 Level Playing Field 2020: Daily Serving
Berliner Weisse - 3.9% ABV Pete Blackberry, ginger, and lemon. It's a little fruity, sour, and salty, with a very strong spicy ginger flavor. I think the ginger is a little bit too much, but it's still a great, refreshing beer. Ratings: Pete - 5 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 Max Headroom
Imperial New England IPA - 9.1% ABV Pete Similar flavor to Headroom (which is unreal, so that's good). It's a tiny bit creamier and sweeter, which dulls the citrus flavors a bit. It's still an amazing beer, just not quite as good as the original. Oh, and don't drink this with food, let it stand on its own. 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 Mosaic Double Dry Hopped Fort Point
New England Pale Ale - 6.6% ABV Pete Super dry. The flavor is a nice balance of citrus and earthiness, but the dry-ness was a bit overwhelming. I liked the plain Mosaic dry-hopped version a little bit more. Ratings: Pete - 5 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 Olmsted
New England IPA - 7% ABV Pete Slightly dank, with a dry, peppery finish. It's delicious, and incredibly drinkable. I love this. Ratings: Pete - 6 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 |
