First brewed to commemorate the grand opening our new facility in Canton, MA. This special pale ale signifies a collective milestone for the entire Trillium team.
A new fermentation profile lends juicier notes and a soft mouthfeel. Hazy golden in appearance with a medium body, this refreshing pale ale bursts with aromatics of mango, orange, melon, and a hoppy dankness. Featuring Mosaic/Citra in the dry hop and a crisp Pilsner malt backbone, Launch Beer exhibits graceful flavors of orange, a light lime character, hints of melon, and slight pithiness.
We raise a glass to you; the devoted community of supporters who have helped us make our dream a reality!

Reviewed from notes. Can dated 07/13/2022 and consumed on 07/28/2022
Can to becher glass.
Appearance: thick orange pale haziness with a finger's worth of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: piney, lemony, some orange juicy whiffs, light grapefruit and some earthy scents; light clean biscuity malts
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine bittersweet juicy to a sweet juicy character; finishes juicy but also some of that earthiness comes back here to add an odd tone
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable, good smoothness; nice low carb, low hop bitterness assertiveness
Overall: pretty nice NEPA I could come back to.

Hazy murky light straw with a decent frothy white head that persists. Lemony earthy grassy with hints of tropical against a restrained bready backbone. Kind of chunky in the mouthfeel and the body doesn't seem to hold it up. Trillium makes better beers but this one is serviceable.

Got this pounder can for a buck off the clearance shelf at JR's! Pours like a milk shake IPA. Sweet perfumy IPA hops nose. Whew, for the taste; big bitter ass IPA impact, dead on style. Says its a pale ale, I don't think so. This is IPA fer sher,, truthfully, honestly, for real, seriously and no cap crap! I'm even getting a slight warming sensation even tho its less than 6%. Big nasty disagreeably disgusting distasteful awfully dreadful horrible and terribly vile for any macro lager lover. Yes, really really on style. Taste could even pass for an impy IPA. Think chewing on a fresh rubber motorcycle innnertube while drinking the dregs of turpentine mixed with rotting fermenting green grapefruit rinds. Way to ruin my taste buds for a while there trilly. Mouth coating nearly flat impact. Somebody get me an ice cold macro pale light lager for for a chaser, thanks. There, you have it.

16 ounce can from Canton brewery. Hazy, yellow gold pour. Frothy white head. Floral hop aroma fills the room. Soft, bready malt flavor upfront hints at stone fruit and citrus. Notes of lemon, grapefruit, passion fruit and pineapple. Smooth and flavorful with great sessionability.

Can from the brewery, cheers to BillyT. It pours crazy cloudy almost greenish gold with a small , dissipating white head. The aroma is fresh and green, weedy, dank, spicy, ripe tropical fruits, mango, papaya, melon and some bread. The taste is firmly dry and bitter upfront, very fresh and green, weedy, dank, bong rips, grass, peppery spice and floury bread which gives way to ripe tropical fruits and zingy pithy citrus on the back end. waxy peel and green hops through a drying finish. Medium body and fine to moderate, prickly carbonation. Flavourful stuff on the lower end of abv (for Trillium anyhow). Catches your attention anyhow.
