Bottle. Creamy White good mostly lasting head. Yellow colour. Moderate malty and heavy hoppy aroma.. Modrate bitter flavor. Citrus notes. Average moderate bitter finish. Oily palate.

Bottle thanks to Todd. Pours a clear orange color with a medium white head. A big fruity nose, huge late boil aromatics here. Lemons, massive citrus burst in the flavor, the smoothness and drinkability is through the roof. Light yeast, bready base. Wonderful IPA.

750mL bottled 7/1/15, drunk 7/23/15
Moderately cloudy peach-tangerine with the massive, well-retained white head we’ve all come to love and know from Trillium’s pale ales.
Clean, fresh yeast in the nose is surprisng. The last overly yeasty beer I had from these guys, a batch of double dry hopped fort point, gave off a sourish, very aspirinated nose. This is actually pleasant, plastery and light. Add to that some lighthearted citrus fruit hop notes, light pine (not resiny) and seemingly dry, biscuity malt notes. Not the usual honey and white bread dough I get from their Congress and Fort Point variants. It’s lovely and dosent seem to be the 7.2% that it is.
Diving right in, there’s a very robust, borderline punchy hop flavor up front, obviously much of it pine-driven. Light peaches, tangerines and the requisite grapefruit rind round out the flavors . Quite bitter though the very dextrinous body soaks a lot of it up and you’re left with a heavy acidity on the end that borders sour. Crackers, biscuits and popcorn-like flavors come from the malt, all very dry, allowing the beer to really present the hops. Flavorful, for sure, and despite always being a fan of dry IPAs, the acidity on the finish builds and builds and really needs some richer honeyed malt notes to balance better. I will say, however, that the aroma, while not massive and juicy, is really elegant. Very little of this heavy acidity breaks through and the fresh yeast element is charming alongside the delicate mandarin orange notes. Alcohol is concealed well.

Farewell Jack bottleshare at Craft Clerkenwell. Thanks to Leighton. Hazy gold beer, good cream colour head. Palate is light and semi dry and finely crisp. Airy malts, thin but creamy sweetness. Medium strength but oh-so-smooth hop skunk. Mild cooling pine. Modest hop spice. Well buried tropical fruits on the back end. Smooth semi dry finish reveals grapefruit and mango. Very nice indeed.

750 ml bottle poured into a Spiegelau tulip. Bottled 2/24/2015. Hazy golden yellow with almost three fingers of off-white head. Aromas of citrus fruit and zest, floral notes, light tropical fruit and hop oils. Tastes of citrus, floral notes, light pine and grass, light bitterness. Medium body with a dry finish. Nice citrus-forward IPA.

Bottle. Pours cloudy, medium creamy off white head, nice lacing. Aroma is a bit dank, spruce, citrus. Flavor is very light, spruce, dank. Lightish body. Decent.
