Stumpy Duck is an easy drinking American Wheat Ale and part of our draft only, seasonal “Small Bird” series. Brewed with a high proportion of malted and flaked wheat, along with Columbus, Centennial, and Citra hops, this beer has a sweet, honey-like malt aroma that balances nicely with a pink grapefruit, floral, and pine hop character. Medium bodied finishing with flavors of sticky pine and sweet citrus.

Tap into a transparent solo cup showing hazy orange and no head. The nose shows rich and intense orange and mango. The palate is medium bodied and well carbonated. Flavors of light pine with a moderate malt back bone and a light bitterness.

16 oz can. Thanks ClarkVV. Citrus, pale malt, mild yeast. Aroma is bright and clean. The flavor is great, citrus is juicy and soft. The texture is in fashion of a juicy New England APA. No bitterness, perfect, highly drinkable in the highest fashion. Wonderful, just wonderful.

Thanks ClarkVV. Tall-boy can, It looks like an orange whip with a little bit of head. Ya know, the smells okay. a sweeter Society & Solitude 5. Very dense it has an orange whip quality. Very thick finish. juicy, orange peel rind.

Draught at Lord Hobo on 2/23/14
A clear pale ale from Trillium, I almost don’t believe it (and the Pocket pigeon my friend ordered was clear too!). Deep burnished copper-orange with a firm, white head and plentiful carbonation.
A very bracing dose of hoppiness in the nose has plenty of bitter grapefruit, pine resin and some light toasted grains get in the mix. Medium to high strength of aroma but very one-sided in its citrus/pine assault (the falconers flight blend throws a few tropical fruits in the ring, but its minimal). No alcohol or flaws and no yeastiness, finally.
Again strongly bitter up front, but where the fort point and tree creeper have the soft, sweet pale malts and fluffy carbonation to balance, this has sourdough-like wheatiness and sparse, very dry pale malts in their place. Dosent balance out for me and I’m left with too much pine resin and grapefruit rind on the end. Clean, at least, but too much hop acid for my tastes. 7/4/6/3/12
32oz growler filled 6/8/15, drunk 6/11/15
Much better than the last batch, or at least, much less acidic/resinous. Still bright and hoppy, with low yeastiness (there’s a touch) and a moderately high clarity. Pretty standard Trillium pale ale with the juicy, piquant hoppiness in the nose and sparse, well-attenuated pale malts (and this adds wheat to the mix). Still a touch of blandness/yeastiness in the flavor, with a bit of table sugar-like sweetness in places, but overall, another highly drinkable, bright, playful pale ale that they do so well. Rating is for this most recent batch.

Pours hazy gold into a snifter. Bright white head with little retention recedes leaving spider lacing to coat surface. Bubblegum and tropical fruit aromas. Medium bodied with mild bubblegum upfront turing to passionfruit and pineapple before the lasting resin finish.
