We teamed up with session beer zealots Notch Brewing to bolster the foundation of Trillium's lager brewing aspirations. The Notch team has planted a flag in the art of brewing session styles from Europe, while also experimenting with how to introduce American, hop forward flavors into these classic styles. We were honored to be asked to participate in Notch's Guest Brewer initiative and we jumped at the chance to ratchet up our lager pilot brewing efforts with the experienced crew in Salem. The result: "I Predict A Riot" an American Pale Lager that marries a soft Citra hop centric aroma and flavor on top of a satisfying lager backbone.

I Predict A Riot American Pale Lager presents a slightly hazy, deep golden hue. An inviting nose leads with citrus, slight floral aromas, stone fruit, and honeysuckle. Soft bitterness, light earthy malt, mild citrus flesh, and a subtle honey richness rounds out a well-balanced palate. We love this beer and hope you do too!

Draught at 5th Anniversary party, 3/18/18.
Lightly hazy, brass-gold-maize. Large white head slowly fades to cover.
Nose is nicely juicy, with tons of yellow fruit, lots of cracker, light nectarine-pine and little/no yeast character (light mineral). Very low on any scallion/vegetal Mosaic character and showing little/no resin, as well.
In the mouth it's lightly juicy (nectarine, pear, apple) with hints of bitter pine adding balance to the soft, lightly sweet malt. Dries out considerably on the finish, as the base version does, with a ton of cracker and overly dry biscuit. Carbonation is engaging, though very strong initially. No alcohol, flaw or resin. Nice and aromatic, again mirroring the strengths of the base version. Mosaic adds a different aroma profile, though I don't think it really improves upon anything (yet nor does it detract).

Pours bright gold into a shaker. White head with medium retention recedes to coat surface. Mango, papaya and pineapple aromas. Dry with pineapple and biscuit front to back and into the mild earthy finish.
