Pours a slightly hazy yellow from a can. Big aroma for little beer, citrus, tropical fruit. Flavor is rather watery version of the same. Bitter finish. Good beer.

(Thanks, Roman! mansquito) Can. A- Grapefruit, orange peel. A- Orange color, cloudy liquid, off white head. T- Mild bitterness, grapefruit pith, orange. P- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, balanced finish. O- Yippie, my first Trillium beer only a couple weeks after my first Tree House. Not aggressive in bitterness but also not super juicy. Pretty laid back and drinkable. I wouldn't say I am totally impressed but it's a solid beer all around.

Can, from Canton, pours hazy orange with a white head. Aroma is tropical fruit... mango and melon and the like. Taste is fruity, but with a light dry bitterness underlying it, meaning that the aftertaste is pretty dry with only light hints of the fruitiness that is so readily apparent in the aroma. Light but not watery. Quite good.

Cans and draughts, January 2018.
Tangerine-canteloupe with a good amount of haze, though not soupy. White head is large and recedes slowly to cover.
Very juicy in the nose, with a good backing of Nelson creating lime, passion fruit and earth/mineral, while cracker malts sit in the background, per usual for the series. Mosaic lends a bit of lemon, light pine and grapefruit, kind of bringing down the level of interest, but not going as far as to create any off (scallion, garlic) notes nor any heavy resin/vegetal character. Nectarine, light honey, lime, mango and passion fruit linger on with soft mineral. No alcohol or flaw.
In the mouth it's soft yet dry with a malty-to-lightly grainy texture and some hints of cereal. Maris Otter doesn't impart too much rich honey or unbalanced sweetness and the hops provide tons of lime, mineral, tangerine, nectarine, light pine and juicy orange. Zippy bitterness and tight, moderate carbonation keep it zesty, bright and very drinkable. Dries out considerably with a good deal of graininess on the finish, but the juicy citrus and light passion fruit and mango keep it from over-drying.

Can at The Osprey 10Kay. Thanks to new Ken! It pours cloud yellow - gold with a medium white head. The aroma is soft, fresh, rather bright and juicy, apricot, peach and some melon. The taste is criso, dry, clean, quite mellow, juicy, apricot, peach, melon, toasty grain, brioche and some zingy lemon - lime. Medium body and fine carbonation. Well rounded and crushable.
