Trillium Brewing Company

Trillium Pipsqueak Penguin
Pale Ale - 4.9% ABV
Pete
     Had this at the brewery. It was my 6th beer of the day there, and a bunch of those were big stouts, so the alcohol percentage was good for me. It's citrusy, not a ton of flavor, but what's there is very good. Definitely recommend having this without food to avoid overwhelming it.

Trillium Pittsburgh Street
IPA - 7.2% ABV
Pete
     Incredible IPA. Creamy and citrusy with a not-so-subtle peppery-ness that I really enjoyed. Stood out at a beer fest with quite a few great offerings.

Trillium Plum Super Soak
Sour - 7.1% ABV

     Incredible sour. Super tart and the plum is definitely noticeable in the finish with maybe a hint of saltiness.

Trillium PM Dawn
Imperial Stout - 9% ABV

     Delicious. Chocolatey mostly with some subtly spicy coffee flavor. It's super sweet, and maybe a tiny more bitterness would make it perfect.

Trillium PM Dawn - Peanut Butter
Imperial Milk Stout - 10.1% ABV

​     A bit too sweet for me, but it hides the booze well and definitely tastes like peanut butter.

​    Tons of vanilla and chocolate, and isn't too sweet, which many milk stouts can be. Really hard to find anything wrong with this baby.

Trillium Pom Pom
Milk Stout - 6.8% ABV
Pete
     Pretty sweet going down, but it's balanced in the finish by dark chocolate and some subtle fruit flavors. Damn good well-rounded stout. Perfect for those who don't love coffee flavors in their stouts.

Trillium Pot & Kettle
Porter - 7.5% ABV
Pete
     Oatmeal porter with coffee sounds great to me, and this lived up to what I was hoping for. A ton of coffee flavor and a little peppery, awesome.

Porter - 7.5% ABV

     Some good chocolate flavor, and even more vanilla. Wasn't described as a vanilla porter, but that's what it is really. I'm not complaining.

Trillium Raspberry Chocolate Gateau
Pastry Stout - 11% ABV
Pete
     This beer is chocolate mousse with raspberry sauce in liquid form. It's not crazy sweet either, as it has some tartness from the raspberry. Glorious.

Trillium Really Big Bird
Imperial New England IPA - 9% ABV
Pete
     This is absolutely incredible. Typically IPA's this strong present too sweet, but this one doesn't. Mango and melon flavors dominate with a super dry peppery finish.

Trillium Resolution Break 2019
Imperial Stout - 13% ABV
Pete
     As always with Trillium stouts, this one is pretty expensive ($23 for a 25oz bottle). Coffee, caramel/molasses, and chocolate rotate flavors for me drinking this, with a tiny bit of vanilla. It's sweet, but not crazy. Drinking a full glass is doable.

     Super juicy with no bitterness and maybe a touch of creaminess. It's delicious, as I expected at this point (this was my 43rd offering from Trillium - 9/26/18).

Trillium Soak Seltzer: Mango
Hard Seltzer - 4% ABV

     Pictured on the right - this tastes like carbonated mango juice. Unlike many seltzers, it's not gluten free, but it's extremely flavorful and extremely crushable.

Trillium South Pacific Soufflé
Imperial Stout - 12.1% ABV
Pete
     Collaboration with Garage Project (haven't had any of their beers as of 8/16/19). Smell is big time vanilla and boozy. Flavor starts a little sweet with a tiny hint of coffee. The finish is intense bitter dark chocolate and the booze stays with you. This baby comes in 25.4oz bottles. Definitely find at least 2 friends to split it with. It's delicious, but the intensity makes it tough to get through much volume of this.

West Coast IPA - 7% ABV

     Looks like juice. Doesn't smell like much, but the taste more than makes up for it. Extra ripe tropical fruit with no noticeable bitterness, and finishes a touch creamy.

IPA - 7.2% ABV

     This is a "juicy IPA", whatever that means. It's fruity and glorious. Not bitter at all. PG note - I don't know when I first had this, but it was apparently my first "juicy IPA", the best kind of IPA.

Trillium Storrowed
Imperial IPA - 8.4% ABV
Pete
     Great beer, better name/label. Sweet and fruity, but also a little bitterness at the end to balance it. The dominant flavor is definitely mango, but this is more bitter than most of Trillium's others, but I still wouldn't call this a bitter IPA by any means.

Trillium Stroka
Wild Ale - 7.3% ABV
Pete
     Collaboration with The Veil Brewing (haven't had any of those as of 7/30/21). This is perfection. Very funky and very tart, with the two battling for dominance on your taste buds as it goes down until some fruitiness and herbaceous notes come in in the finish.

Trillium Stumpy Duck
Pale Ale - 5.6% ABV

Trillium Sunshower - Amarillo Dry Hopped
Saison - 8.5% ABV
Pete
     Solid beer. It's like a mix of light flavors from an IPA, saison, and tripel. My issue with it is that it's fairly mellow, and at 8.5%, you need much more flavor to avoid just tasting like alcohol.

Trillium Super Street Shark
Imperial New England IPA - 9% ABV
Pete
​     Collaboration with Bellwoods. It's awesome (shocker). Not as creamy as many Trillium IPA's, and it has a distinctive spicy character. That's nice to balance the sweetness from the high alcohol content, which definitely comes through, but only as a balance for the spiciness. Unreal.

Trillium Swishium
Imperial New England IPA - 8.5% ABV

     Collaboration with Bissell Brothers. Looks like OJ, tastes somewhere in between OJ and grapefruit juice, with a super dry finish. Definitely leans more towards grapefruit. It's incredible, obviously.

Pale Ale - 5.6% ABV

     Smells like a citrus bomb. The taste is a bit more mild, crisp and citrusy with a higher than normal amount of carbonation, making the flavor disappear fairly quickly after putting it down. I drank this incredibly fast.

Trillium UPPER CASE
Imperial IPA - 9% ABV
Pete
     Incredibly flavorful IPA. Described as smelling and tasting like overripe tropical fruits, and that is exactly true. It's also described as having a "doughy" mouthfeel, which I totally agree with, but I'm not sure that's a good thing. The flavors are incredible, but the texture is a little odd for me. Still, awesome.

Imperial Stout - 12.7% ABV

     My goodness. Vanilla is there, but not a crazy amount. Marshmallow flavor along with some toffee. A little bit boozy, but more of a 'warms your soul'  than 'punches you in the face' kind of way. It's just there to remind you that you'll feel good after this one (and shouldn't drive).
