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 Trillium, Roslindale, 2/3/18.
Copper-to-light amber with a slight chill haze and a medium-sized, white head showing moderate retention.
Big cascade-and-citra-like nose. Green, fresh, clean and clear. Melon and peach from something like El Dorado, perhaps. Malt perks up, adding lots of bread with a slight twangy yeast and hop combo on the very end that somewhat dulls the brightness here.
In the mouth it's soft and malty, yet very dry with low, but ample carbonation. Crackery, strong, grainy popcorn-like texture on the finish. Just too dry and overattenuated. Some rich malt tones would do wonders here. Bitterness is still low and pleasing, at least and the nose is absolutely killer. Clean, as well, with no alcohol.

Pours ever-so-slightly hazed gold into a shaker. Bright white micro head with excellent retention recedes leaving sheet lacing to coat surface. Mango and pineapple aromas. Dry with sweet caramel and sourdough front to back. Lasting mild earthy honey finish.
