The first edition in our Lineage series of farmhouse ales features local wheat from Valley Malt in Hadley, Massachusetts. Bright, clear, and straw-yellow in appearance, Lineage Wheat invites with a complex nose of grassy funk, crisp citrus rind, pepper, and floral white wine. Starting mildly tart, yet not sour, this approachable saison follows through with flavors of earth, musky funk, woody-oak, light wheat, and some balancing, tangy, citrus character. Lineage Wheat is beautifully light in body and dry on the palate.

Thank you Mathieu87 + PriorL for the effort! Can sampled @ Samson en Geert Bierproef Avond. Fresh - few weeks old. Very hazy milky orange with little to zero head. Nose is dank orange peel, mandarin peel, lemon peel, big on fruity orange hops. Taste is massive green weeds, grassy dank hops, bit too bitter raw for me but pretty good overal, lingering bitter weeds, orange notes are way in the back. Milky milkshake IPA body, quite oily, lingering grass. Quite nice, great beer to drink.

Draught at Canton, 11/10 and can drunk 11/17/16.
Moderate amounts of white head top a hazy, though not soupy, bronze-golden body. Retention is moderately-strong.
Much like Trillikini, the beer certainly isn’t big, bold and in your face. I actually found it much juicier and rounder on draught on the 10th than it was in cans a week later, yet it was every bit as enjoyable, despite being a little less hoppy and juicy overall. Clean, very dry, with well-structured, biscuity malts and no huskiness whatsoever. Soft, wheat-laden textures with very light malt sweetness to round it out. Just like Trillikini, and beers of its kind in general (dry, very even, soft, gently-flavored, compared to similarly-styled beers), many people are easily going to pass it by/write it off. While I don’t think it’s anywhere near as much of an accomplishment as the highly flavorful, soft, nearly flawlessly executed Trillikini was for its mere 3.3%, this is still a beer that drinks much lower than 6.6%, with none of the twang, ester or booze that has plagued some recent Trillium batches.

Fresh canning of 11/7/16, thank you Brian! Pours a cloudy yellow with a frothy medium white head. Rich grassy aroma accented with citrus.
Flavor is grassy right up front with piney, and citrusy with the pine balanced extremely well. Medium length bitter finish. Light carbonation, The signature soft mouth feel. Medium to lighter crisp bodied IPA. It is good

Pours hazy mango into a tulip. White head with little retention recedes to hug rim leaving spotted sheets. Mango and apricot aromas. Soft and dry with mango upfront turning to sharp aspirin and grapefruit pith in the lasting finish.
