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.

Pours a cloudy, yellow-orange, with smallish head. Aroma is dank, with floral aromas and citrus and tropical fruit. Flavor is citrusy and bitter, in a very nice balance, with quite bitter finish. Another winner.

Thanks to Priorl & Mathieu87 for procurement & organization. Can sampled @ “Samson & Geert Tasting 21.01.17”. Canned 12 December 2016. Very hazy orange, little head. Biggest cheesy hop dank profile of the 4 Trillium’s tried at this tasting, massive cheesy hops, fluffy, low papaya. Taste is likewise, very dank fresh hop, monolithic huge cheese hop profile, really massive, creamy with some fluffy white bread characteristics, very trademark Trillium profile, nice malty body, very creamy cheesy hops & white bread body. A very solid & pleasant beer in the most popular current IPA fashion. I realize that this is supposed to be an APA, fail to see much difference in hop intensity between this & Trillium’s IPA’s.

Thanks, floozy. Can. The beer is a light orangey yellow color. It’s clouded through, opaque. The head is thick and white. Decent retention, some lacing. Aroma is a very pleasant mix of hops. Fairly juicey. Big on orange and tangerine citrus flavors. Light, sweet stone fruit behind that. Mild malt sugariness somewhere in the background. The taste is fairly dry. Mild bitterness. Some nice hop flavor comes through. Very refreshing and easy to drink. Moderately astringent. Nice little mineral note to the beer. The mouthfeel is light and creamy. Excellent stuff.

Bottle thanks to Matt! Pours of course cloudy orange, large fluffy white head, dissipates with clumpy lacing. Aroma is a bit grassy, melons, guava, peaches. Flavor is light sweet, light plus bitter, a bit fruity, sharp in some way, juicy, almost a Belgian yeast note. Light plus body, almost a hint of chalkiness and a citric tartness. Solid beer, but not my favorite from Trillium.

From notes. Consumed 4 March 2016... 750 ml bottle spilt by Brian, thanks Willrunforbeer. Unfiltered golden/ yellow color, very thin lasting head, legs of lacing in the snifter. Aroma is mildly grassy/ scallion with bold citrus and light straw or hay notes.
< br> Great level of juicy citrus and tropical fruity notes. Lots of fresh citrus. The Pilsner malt keeps it light in regards to body and texture has a nice soft / airy mouthfeel. The bitterness is light to moderate and never wears down your Tastebuds with IBU’s. At 5.7 percent, I could drink this every single day and not feel the least bit bad about it. The drinkable character is on the high end of the style for me. Exceptional

Pours hazy pear into a snifter. Bright white head with good retention recedes leaving spider lacing. Dank resin, pineapple and mango aromas. Soft with bread and pineapple upfront turning to dry resin, back to sweet marshmallow before finishing with grapefruit pith. Quite a journey... glad to be along for the ride.
