Summery dry-hopped medium-to-full body utilizes balanced blend of tropical fruit juicing to ride above moderately creamed sugar-spiced crystal malting, grassy hop astringency, wispy pine needling and sour lemongrass herbage. Sweet orange-peeled grapefruit, pineapple, tangerine, peach and mango tang stays brisk as lemony grape juicing teases the midst. Similarly styled to Trillium’s parade of IPA’s with subtle tweaking.
Bold medium-full body (with sly 7% ABV) brings tangy tropical fruiting to capacious sugar-spiced crystal malting, light piney hop bittering, dank floral tones and wheat flaked minerality. Mighty lemon zest, orange rind, pineapple, grapefruit, mango and tangerine kick retains juicy-fruited luster over earthen wood tones.
Audaciously bitterer dry-hopped version of Scaled regales sour lemon pith pungency with sweet orange-peeled mango tang, polite herbal hop musk and wafting floral aspect, retaining sinewy golden chartreuse haze. Sugared citrus tang gains zesty lemon tingle at the bright finish.
“Effervescent” hop-forward medium body offers dainty tropical-fruited tang to herbal lemon- dropped bittering and astringently grassy terrain. Understated Galaxy/ Nelson Sauvin hop combo scatters passionfruit, kiwi and papaya illusions as well as lightly candy-spiced peach, pineapple and grape wisps across the midst.
Ultimately more pungent, bitter and enjoyable than usual staid pale ale fare. Luxurious tropical fruiting lays atop floral-glazed sweetness and grassy hop astringency. Streamlined pineapple, peach, grapefruit, orange, tangerine and mango tang and sprucy pine tones brighten crystal malt backbone. Crisp celery and cucumber watering adds viable vegetal reminder.
Another perfectly rounded, stylishly robust and heavily hazed pale ale by Trillium. Vibrant fruitful force meets less intense grassy hop bittering, resinous pine reminder, dank herbal pungency and nifty floral notions. Zesty Citra-hopped pineapple, mango, lemon and orange illusions glisten.
Signature farmhouse ale utilizes dry Motueka hops to gain lime-dried lemon souring for herbal-spiced florality, mild black-peppered earthiness and grainy rye malting. Drifting barnyard acridity increases dryness as wavered coriander, chrysanthemum, lavender and thyme undertones scurry.
