4.1 Im Brewpub gezapft Trübes Gelb, Fingerbreit Schaum Sehr fruchtig im Aroma: Pfirsich, Zitrus, Mango, etwas Grapefruit Geschmack: sehr schön sanft und balanciert für ein Neipa. Leicht sauer aber auch süße zu schmecken. Fruchtig: etwas Pfirsich, etwas Grapefruit im Gaumen. Erde. Voller Antrunk, leichte cremig. Etwas Bitter. Im Nachgeschmack bleibt eine saure Note, die aber nicht aufdringlich ist.

4.2 Can picked up fresh from the brewery: pours a milky yellowish orange color with a big frothy white head, citrus and hoppy aroma, taste is hoppy, mildly bitter, very smooth and really an excellent hazy IPA.
3.9 Somewhere in there I forgot to rate this beer, because I know I have had it several times. Pours a hazy golden yellow from the can with fluffy bubbles of white foam that leave moderate lace. Aroma and taste of all the things you would expect, melon and tropical hops notes with hints of pine and citrus, and a wheat and biscuit base. Solid example of the style for sure.
3.3 Pours opaque apricot with minimal ivory head. Aroma presents tart pear, citrus, raw malt. Flavor features tart pear, raw malt, piney hops, subtle citrus. Texture offers fair body and fizz, and a woody hop finish. Get Congressional.
3.8 Taster pour on tap at the brewery. Appearance is cloudy dark yellow with no discernible sparkle, thin cap of off-white head with fair retention and no lacing. Aroma is moderate orange citrus. Taste is orange citrus and mild grapefruit. Palate is medium side of light-to-medium bodied with smooth, frothy texture, average carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, nice but not transcendent.

3.8 Cloudy golden orange pour with a thin soapy white head and decent lacing ..... aroma of orange, melon, pineapple and a nice juicy fruit tropical flavor ..... taste is of tropical fruits, pineapple, orange, melon and a bit of bitter rind that lingering into the finish ..... has a sweetness that’s a bit too sugary ..... finish is of orange, pineapple, sugar and melon .... creamy and slick mouthfeel .... solid and crushable but a bit high on the sweet side

4.1 Pounder can. Who can you go wrong with an IPA from Trillium ... poured a cloudy golden color with an off white head. Citrus, pine and fruity ... get some!
3.7 16oz can. 7 weeks old and it really shows...the hops have turned quite dieselish...oniony. Creamy mouthfeel, but the taste is just devolved...odd for such a youngish beer, but I suppose in the NEIPA game that is everything. I get some Galaxy, but it is more muddled in with the other tones. Great appearance, solid mouthfeel, the flavor and aroma just don't blow me away like a typical Trillium does. OK.
4.0 1 pint can from the brewery, canned 27 Dec 2017. Completely opaque gold-orange with bubbly white head. Huge juicy tropical fruit aromas. The taste has a doughy malt character, big tropical fruit juice, with pineapple, melon, mango, passionfruit, some grassiness, alcohol well hidden. Full mouthfeel, moderate carbonation. Fantastic beer.
3.9 Can from brewery. Pours hazy gold. Aroma and flavor are stone fruit, mango, pale malt, faint wheat, chewy, moderate bitterness, and smooth dry finish. Medium body.
