Fresh bottle purchased from the brewery and drunk later the night of 4/10/15
Pours a rather hazy orange-gold with a very strong, large, well-retained, white head.
Beautiful nose has both elements of tropical fruits as well as some more standard orange/grapefruit/pine. Not quite the lush, juicy strength of Upper Case and there’s more resin displayed here, which I’m never much a fan of, but the alcohol is under control and the malt adds only moderately sweet honey to help balance.
The flavor is a mixed bag for me. On one hand, the same luscious tropical fruits are here and provide enjoyable flavors of pineapple, mango and such, but there’s a bit of blandness from the hops still in suspension and to go with that, a bit too much pine-like acidity. The brighter, lighter notes are inevitably consumed by the grapefruit/resin bitterness and resulting acidity. That being said, it’s not outrageously acidic and to be quite honest, as it warmed up, the malt actually became a bit too sweet. Too cake-like and sugary, though I wouldnt go as far as to call it syrupy. Obviously, then, the resulting texture is very soft and coupled with the natural carbonation, makes that part of the experience enjoyable.
Kind of an "Old-style American DIPA", as in, more bitter/C-hop forward and with plenty of maltiness. Still enjoyable but there’s just a better breed of IPA/DIPA being brewed these days (including many of Trillium’s other beers).

Bottle split at Chriso Easter tasting, big thanks to Leighton, 04/04/15. Light black with a decent tan covering. Nose is dark fruit rinds, figgy jam, toffee, smoke, light spice, trace of coffee. Taste comprises rich malt notes, chocolate biscuit, toffee, cocoa, subtle coffee grinds. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, drying close. Ok porter but expected a lot more from Trillium, the coffee was pretty muted in this number!
