TRILLIUM SUMMER RELEASE
Surprise! The renowned brewery is back with a fresh drop, including the flagship Congress Street and 2 never-before-seen DIPAs. Expected to arrive at Krog and West End Friday afternoon 7/26; available to pre-order now!
Trillium Congress Street: Trillium’s core IPA highlights the distinctively aromatic Australian Galaxy hop. The nose bursts with pine, citrus rind, melon and pineapple. Pronounced flavors of peach, clementine, and tropical fruits are accentuated with moderate bitterness and balanced by a light, biscuity malt character.
Trillium DDH Arnold Arboretum: Pouring a rich, golden yellow with a warm and inviting haze, DDH Arnold Arboretum's amped up Citra/Galaxy hop bill offers an array of citrus-meets-stone fruit aromas that we know and love. Navel orange peel, sweet canned peach, apricot nectar, and pineapple gummies weave in and out throughout each sip. Never leaning too hard in the direction of sweetness or bitterness, Arnold Arboretum boasts a soft mouthfeel and medium body.
Trillium Vicinity: Hopped with Galaxy, Citra, and Columbus hops, this DIPA pours a yellow straw-color, with a significant haze. Heavy citrus aromas of pineapple, orange flesh and mango dance on the nose and palate. The pilsner malt provides a medium body and wraps up each sip with a slight balancing bitterness.
