For this wild offering, we rack our flagship farmhouse ale, Trillium, to age in neutral oak casks with a house Bug Blend of yeasts. Appearance is bright yellow-golden with light, gentle carbonation. Moderately funky and slightly tart, but not sour, Wild Trillium expresses subtle tannic structure with delicate notes of light citrus, pepper, and hay. Mouthfeel is soft and the finish is dry, crisp and tannic.

Unclear orange golden color with a small white head. Ok lacing. Looks nice and inviting. Solid funky aroma. Medium body and an average carbonation level. Tad rich acidity and a dry ending. Fruity, yeast, citric, spices and oak in the flavor. Tasty stuff.

(On tap @ Himmeriget, Copenhagen, July 5/17) Pours lightly hazed medium gold with a white head. Notes of hay, candied lemon peel, unripe peach, earthy mulchy Brett, oak, yeast with a lightly peppery spicy character, lightly tart with some grainy malt that leaves a light residual sweetness. Finish is dry, lingering hay, lemons, earth and hay, a touch of tannic oaky character. Medium bodied, smooth moderate strength carbonation, semi-crisp. Solid tart funky offering if not a boundary-pusher.

Keg at the Beavertown Trillium Tap Takeover. Nearly clear gold with a small ring a white head. Metallic compost aroma with tangerine peel and a nice whiff of saison yeast. Full intense sour taste that spreads through the mouth to the outer reaches of the lips and the back of the tongue. Full oily body with sourness pervading every pore. Soured citrus and Grand Marnier in the aftertaste. A god among wild beers.
