May 24, 2024 rating: 473mL can, pours a cloudy milky yellow with a small white head. Aroma brings out lots of juicy tropical fruits, grapefruit, and some dank hops. Flavour is fairly juicy, with lots of tropical fruits, some gentle bitter grapefruit, and a touch of dank hops. I definitely don't think this is as good as I did 9 years ago, but I'm pretty happy with it now considering my intense hatred of hazies. 7 3 8 3 15 Oct 12, 2015 rating: 750mL bottle, pours a cloudy dark golden orange with a small white head. Nose is dank as fuck, with truckloads of juicy pot-like hops. Flavour is actually fairly mellow for a IIPA, with dank citrus hops, a little pine, and biscuity malt. Wonderfully balanced and quite restrained for a double IPA. Smooth and highly drinkable. Excellent. 8 4 8 4 16

Fresh bottle purchased from the brewery and drunk later the night of 4/10/15
Pours a rather hazy orange-gold with a very strong, large, well-retained, white head.
Beautiful nose has both elements of tropical fruits as well as some more standard orange/grapefruit/pine. Not quite the lush, juicy strength of Upper Case and there’s more resin displayed here, which I’m never much a fan of, but the alcohol is under control and the malt adds only moderately sweet honey to help balance.
The flavor is a mixed bag for me. On one hand, the same luscious tropical fruits are here and provide enjoyable flavors of pineapple, mango and such, but there’s a bit of blandness from the hops still in suspension and to go with that, a bit too much pine-like acidity. The brighter, lighter notes are inevitably consumed by the grapefruit/resin bitterness and resulting acidity. That being said, it’s not outrageously acidic and to be quite honest, as it warmed up, the malt actually became a bit too sweet. Too cake-like and sugary, though I wouldnt go as far as to call it syrupy. Obviously, then, the resulting texture is very soft and coupled with the natural carbonation, makes that part of the experience enjoyable.
Kind of an "Old-style American DIPA", as in, more bitter/C-hop forward and with plenty of maltiness. Still enjoyable but there’s just a better breed of IPA/DIPA being brewed these days (including many of Trillium’s other beers).

The beer is a tannish burnt orange color. Rocky off white head. Lots of lacing. Nice sweet tropical fruit hops in the aroma. Little malt character. Very nice. The taste is light and full of hop fruit flavor. Mango, pineapple, a little papaya, mild tangerine. Good stuff. No real malt sweetness but it is fairly sweet. It makes me think of hoppy beers that stay away from early hop additions. Moderate bitterness in the finish. Solid DIPA.

Poured from a 750 ml bottle. Aroma is very hop forward with a light, background malt character. Lots of tropical fruit and citrus with lighter stone fruit and resin. Pineapple mango and guava are most prevalent. Pours a cloudy, pale, golden orange with some copper hues and a thick, white head that exhibits nice retention. High lacing and small legs. Flavor is somewhat sweet with a slight honey character and some light caramel notes. Rather strong bitterness with a light alcohol spice in the finish. Moderate orange and grapefruit notes with some light stone fruit, especially peach. Moderate tropical fruit with mango being most prevalent. Hints of resin and melon. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a nice IPA with a lot of tropical and stone fruit. A little sweet and malty for my preferences, but the hop character is nice and works well with the sweetness.

Poured from bottle thanks Willrunforbeer. Hazy golden color with thin white head. Aromas of sweet citrus and caramel. Taste is smooth and clean with a nice citrus hit and a nice balanced light hop finish. A great beer.

Pours hazy white grapefruit into a snifter. Bright white head with medium retention recedes leaving trailing lacing. Sweet caramel, yeast and resin aromas. Soft with sweet caramel and sugar cookie dough upfront turning dry grapefruit and mango before the lasting pith finish.
