Double Dry Hopped Congress Street
Trillium Brewing Company

 

Can into a Willi. Trillium NEIPAs are so consistently good. If I had one complaint, it's that this was a little hot with the hop burn, which, hey, it's galaxy - sometimes that happens - but it wasn't horrible, and the flavor more than made up for it. Explosion of tropical flavors, bright, vibrant, with a great mouthfeel. A top notch hazy.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

DDH is stroooong!!

Love me some trill ipas

 

Great dank hop floral nose. Almost a little bit gritty on the mouthfeel. Flavor was as good as you're going to get. Def a beer you should try if you can.

 

 

 

 

Canned 11/23/20 and enjoyed on 12/02/20. Pours with some moderate effervescence with some moderate head retention and lacing. Color reminiscent of orange juice. Complex scents of pine, mango, pineapple, fresh cut grass. Similar flavor profile- lots of tropical fruits, orange zest, with some noticeable hop bite. Soft, fluffy mouthfeel. Nice oily bitterness that lingers on the palate. I really enjoy galaxy hopped beers and this is a solid one that drinks bigger than it is, more like a DIPA. Really big and bold flavors.

 

 

This beer seems to get better and better every year. Trillium will always be my favorite haze brewery, and this is one of their best.

 

Grassy with a bitterness spice finish.

Can dated 9/15/20. Poured into Trillium tulip shaped glass. Looks like dirty orange juice. Great smell of hops, but not so much as other Trillium DDH varieties I’ve had. Taste is really well balanced — not overpowering with citrus — with a long, ever-so-slightly bitter, lingering finish. Doesn’t stand out in any singular, exaggerated way, but a very nicely balanced IPA. Nicely done.

 

Pours a 1/4” head and lacy suds on top of hazy yellow/orange body. Nice refreshing mouthfeel and the double dry hops comes through in the taste, and just a touch lingering afterwards. Tangerine, kumquat, pineapple, and sweet citrus aroma.

L: Super Hazy yellow with a tint of orange and a bubbly head that dissipates leaving modest lacing.

S: Bright and resinous tropical fruits. Mango, peach, and pineapple. The malt showcases itself surprisingly well with some candied bread.

T: Firm bitterness, moves into a huge hop flavor of mango, peach, and pine resin. The malt provides a decent backbone with some candied crystal malt presence.

F: Dry, but somewhat creamy from a generous dose of wheat or oats.

Overall: A stellar NEIPA, insanely hoppy. You must try this beer if you are a hophead.

a: hazy muted matte orange color with a hint of yellow flat notes. Pours 2 finger fizzy white head that fades as i type

s: slight dank earthy sweetness at first. tangerine and dried apricots. orange juice and a hint of orange zest. graperfruit, and loads of dried mango. a hint of pineapple. doughy malt backbone

t: lots of dried fruit in here. dried apricots and mango upfront. a kiss of orange zest bitterness behind that. orange juice and some mellow grapefruit bitterness. a touch of chalk at the end

m: medium fluffy mouthfeel with low-medium carbonation. classic NEIPA mouthfeel

o: really nice NEIPA. it's flavorful, yet mellow. harmonized well and the mouthfeel is absolutely spot-on

Sweet pineapple, bready/biscuity, and tropical hoppy nose on this one! Taste follows with a soft and juicy, slightly malty, tropical hoppy bitter finish. This has really nice depth and mouthfeel for a single! This is good!

Look (4.75): nice frothy one finger head. leaves lacing. Super hazy yellow
Nose (4): not sure why, but not very strong from what i can tell. Smells citrusy and bitter/a little dank
Feel (4.75): Medium/full body. this is really nice and soft/pillow and creamy up front and nice and dryer at the end. Light/moderate carbonation
Taste (4.75): Citrusy, but can't tell exactly what "candied" fruit. More bitterness and hops. Bit of dankness. More dankness than typical NEIPA
Overall (4.75) Really great beer. One of the top ones that I've had. Great body, flavor, hops, right complexity, and very smooth
