The Emerald Necklace series tells a foundational piece of the Trillium Brewing story. If you’ve visited our home of Boston, you’ve likely encountered and enjoyed a section of the Emerald Necklace. Beginning downtown at the Boston Common and Public Garden, extending out to Back Bay, and all the way to Dorchester, this 1,100 acre, seven-mile-long public park system is a cherished green oasis in the heart of the city. Years ago, JC cultivated a plot in the Fenway Victory Gardens, where he grew edible and decorative plants, trees, and even some hop bines!
The second beer in the series takes us to The Riverway, a 34-acre park that serves as a border between Boston and neighboring Brookline. Dual-hopped with two favorites from the Pacific Northwest, Citra and Mosaic each display their distinct tropical traits. We taste orange sherbet, Meyer lemon, and juicy peach. A gentle sweetness that never nears cloying is embraced by a refined bitterness rounding out each sip.

Panda, thanks to Wingman. Hazy gold beer, slightly murky, tidy pale cream colour head. Airy palate, a very mild dryness, decent fine minerally carbonation. Light malts, a light creamy sweetness. Smooth if fairly bright pine. Decent and reasonably bright hoppy citrus fruits. Orange, tangerine and a little pink grapefruit. Light pinch of hop spice on semi dry finish. Good stuff.

Draft pour at Chuck's, Seward Park. Also, fitting name today. Bright glowing orange haze. Patchy head and lacing. Slightly sweet melon and peach constant on aroma and flavor. Smooth body. Fruit cocktail finish. Slick and refreshing. Surprisingly fruity, but overall enjoyable.

Pours a hazy, lemon yellow, with smallish head. Aroma has some grass, onion, sharp cheese, tropical and citrus fruits. Flavor is bitter upfront, with onion and cheese, some tropical fruit and citrus. Gives way to a fairly bitter, pine/spruce hop finish. Good, but quite different taste profile than in the official description.

5-oz. taster pour at the Canton brewery. Appearance is opaque yellow-light brown with no sparkle, finger-width white foamy head with fair retention. Aroma is moderately strong stone fruit, melon, berry--somewhat nondescript--with some diffuse scallion herb. Taste is a soup of a lot of stuff--grapefruit, pine, citrus--a fruity, herbal, astringent mix that's a little all over the place. Mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with thin texture, lively carbonation and crisp, dry finish as taste with lingering bitterness. Overall, not bad by any means and might be the top of many brewer's offerings but for Trillium you can find better. 3.7-8
