Bright aromatics of peach and nectarine fuse with flavors of tropical fruit and grapefruit on the palate. Accents of pine, resinous hop, and a clean bitterness reveal themselves on a smooth, dry finish.

Shared by solidfunk, thanks Josh! Poured a really hazy yellow-orange color with a medium sized white head. Aroma was pleasant, light citrus. Light resin flavor, some orange juice and a little creamy vanilla.

Seriously hoppy like a kangaroo on crack. Murky yellow pour with great head and lacing. Mango and passion fruit. Green onion. Bitter and tangy finish. Big thanks to Chalumeaux on this tall can.

16oz can c/o Smith. Big ups. Thick, unfiltered, orange-tan body. Creamy off-white head. A superb IIPA. Whereas a lot of Hazy IIPAs don't really maintain the cool, mellow, juicy tones, this one nails it. Pleasant to drink. One of the best IIPAs that I have ever had. Fantastic. Perfect balance, really has a lot more finesse than most NE IPAs. Big pineapple tones. The ABV starts to show after you sip at it, but overall just a super impressive beer.

Tasting at Erik's, can
Murky blond color. The aroma is overwhelming, it's fruity, jammy, dank, feeling of forest bushes, strawberries. Lean body, with light residual sweetness, delicate malt base, then an explosion of tropical hops, sweet citrus, and chili pepper, a bit dank. Bold character, relatively clean.
Wonderful.

16 oz. can, pours a cloudy yellow with a small white head. Aroma reveals lots of piney hops, light dank and biscuity malt. Flavour is bold and wonderfully structure, with loads of resinous and piney hops upfront, followed by some light dankness, dry biscuity malt and light booze. Bold and wonderfully structured.

Cloudy, light tan. Some earthy, piney notes with a light grapefruit note. Has a nice fruity papaya note, maybe mango, and then there's a bit yeasty lupulin powder hit coming through. This is one of those beers where they baseline quality of Trillium shines through but the application thereof is just okay.

Pours a very hazy, dull orange with almost no head to speak of. Aroma includes hints of peach and tropical fruit, along with some pine-hops. Flavor is marked by tropical and citrus fruits, as well as a healthy dollop of pine/spruce hops and resin. Smooth, not overly bitter finish. Really, really good.
