Cutting Tiles is an exploratory series of Double IPAs featuring a range of aromatic single hop varietals brewed with raw local wildflower honey. This new version is dosed with 100% Citra in all kettle, whirlpool and a massive dry hop addition. The honey keeps the body light and drinkable but provides a earthy backbone.
Floral and zesty up front backed up with a nuanced citrus character on the nose that continues straight through in the flavor profile. Pillowy soft mouthfeel, with a restrained bitterness on the finish.
STYLE: Double IPA
ABV: 8.5%
HOPS: Citra
MALT: Pilsner, White Wheat, Flaked Wheat, Dextrine, C-15

Pours a very hazy, pale yellow, not unlike peach or orange juice. Minimal head. Aroma is very floral, with citrus, tropical fruit, and hops present. Flavor is at first sweet, with a tropical fruitiness, followed by bitter hops and some citrus. Bitter finish. Very soft mouthfeel. It’s a great beer, really.

Can. It pours a hazed yellow/orange color with a small white head. The aroma has fresh grapefruit and passionfruit. Strong and fresh. The flavor is a bit more tropical with more of the passionfruit and hints of mango. Maybe a little grass. There’s some light sweetness that comes across more like cane sugar than honey to me, but it’s adds some juiciness to the big fruity hop profile. Low bitterness. Sweet and hoppy. Smooth on the palate. Really tasty.

16oz can c/o Smith. Hazy, unfiltered bright orange body. The honey accentuates the pollen-like honeysuckle tones. Big green onion, garlic hop characteristics, some dank resinous tones as well. Full bodied, drinks a little heavier than most other Trillium beers I’ve had. Wheat tones add more depth. Pretty solid stuff.

Sample at the "Northeastern vs Northwestern Brewery Tasting" on 10/29/2016. Hazy pale orange color with a medium white head that dissipates gradually to an outer ring. Short strings of lacing on the glass, Peaches, citrusy hops and malt in the nose. Tropical fruit, grassy hop and malt flavors. The finish is moderately bitter with a fruity hop aftertaste. Good beer all around.

Can with a date of 11/21/16. Normal turbid, bright gold color. Aroma is large amounts of fruit; pineapple, apricots, papaya. Also oranges and pine. Wow!
Taste is honey based with the bold tropical fruits, with mild pine hints. Juicy center that transitions into a dry finish. Body is lighter with tingly carbonation. Yes, this works on any day of the week. And twice on Tuesday.
