Description
Resilience is the American ale project of the brewers at Schilling Beer Co. We craft exquisite, principally hoppy ales, with the same level of artisanship and care that is evident across the breadth of Schilling Beer Co. liquids. Resilience beers are so named because they embody the struggles and triumphs of our journey. Drink Resilience with those you love—preferably in the mountains—and hopefully in a place as special as Littleton, NH.

Resilience beers are available on-site at the brewery (both at the brewpub and the main brewery’s tasting room), as well as in 16 oz. cans and limited kegs via our distributors (primarily in New Hampshire).

Admin Note: This is the American-style beer brand of Schilling. Same brewery, brewers, ownership, etc...

Looks like orange juice. Smells like orange juice. Tastes like a tangerine and orange combo. Note: these new england IPAs all taste the same. No sense in trying to extract anything from them beyond OJ).

Draught at the brewery, 3/23/18.
Dark-to-medium mahogany, seemingly clear with a light tan head atop showing strong retention.
Smells lightly lactic, vinous and with a hint of chocolatey-peanuty roast. No alcohol or flaw and neither overly fudgey or heavy on the ash/char roast character.
Dry in the mouth, much moreso than the nose would suggest, with light nutty notes and hints of succulent fudge. Stays dry, though, and gains light roast, mild fruitiness (plum, raisin, prune) and just a touch of lactose. Finishes earthy and chocolatey with light caramel and more fruit. Soft, malty texture, lightly sticky at points with low-to-moderate, engaging carbonation.

Draught at the brewery, 3/23 and 6/22/18.
Moderately hazy, brass-golden with a white head that sits at cover.
Malt, spice, yeast. Maybe a bit of light bile-like character? I assume it's just heavy yeast in suspension and various interactions with the hops. Some strong, bready character from the malt and lightly twangy hop, contributes to the slight off character. Something odd, anyways, though a lot of good fruity, juicy, pine-accented hop character, as well. The recent draught was much cleaner, though still very yeast-forward. Whatever yeast they're using is very prominent and it still feels like it could use more conditioning.
In the mouth it's decidedly spicy with chinook/cascade (or really any PNW hop)-like pepper, orange rind and pine. It's enjoyable though, mostly on account of the soft, malty texture, light sweetness and lack of resin. Fresh, earthy hop lingers. Mosaic doesn't impart any scallion and there is ample spice-like character from the Galaxy. Not boozy, though more bitter than I'd expect with lots of pine character, spice and lingering Galaxy. Kind of a WC/NE IIPA hybrid.

Draught at the brewery, 3/23/18.
Super turbid, warm-honey-golden-to-orange-juice colored body is topped by a small, white head that fades swiftly to a ring.
Nose is straight orange juice and I'm ok with it. Great leafy, fresh Galaxy adding earth, mineral and lemon. No resin, no alcohol. Malts show typical biscuit-honey and back nicely while staying mostly out of the way.
Spicy cinnamon-like notes mix with plentiful orange juice, in the mouth. Earthy tea character, as well. It's a bit odd and potpourri-like; definitely not the Galaxy spice I'm used to. Perhaps it's a lot of Idaho 7...(seems like it). Nope, turns out there's none of that. Still a bit odd. Perfect texture, however, with an almost gritty-like character at times. Too much yeast and hop particulate leftover, though, would be my guess as to the weirdness going on. Galaxy really emerges on the finish adding leafy, lush, spicy green character. Good and promising but I'd vote for another week in secondary.
