Our Double Dry Hopped version of Melcher Street; this amped up American IPA features a heavy dose of Mosaic hops. The spicy, resinous, herbal aroma bursts with nuances of tart citrus, tangerine, clementine, and subtle green onion. Bold flavors of under-ripe melon, cantaloupe rind, and pineapple are highlighted with gentle bitterness and delicate, biscuity malt character.

MALT: American 2-row Barley, White Wheat, C-15, Dextrine, Dextrose
HOPS: Mosaic, Columbus

Pours a very hazy mango color with a creamy white head that provides a nice amount of lacing and maintains a ring around the body as you enjoy the beer. Beautiful hazy.

The nose is dank and citrusy, with tart tangerine, mango, and passion fruit notes, as well as a nice bit of apricot. Full on salivating at this point.

The taste is really led by a delightful interplay between the mango, apricot, and tart tangerine flavors equally delicious and accompanied by a bit of passion fruit. World class stuff here, IMHO.

The mouthfeel is medium and surprisingly lively for a hazy. Tree House rightfully gets loads of attention in the beer nerd world, but Trillium is every bit their equal, IMHO.

I cannot add any more that others havent mentioned. The mouthfeel is just so smooth that I wish I had this locally. As good of a hazy as I have ever had. Worth it for the mouthfeel alone.

Picked up a four pack of cans at Curtis Liquors in Cohasset, MA for about twenty two dollars. My sixty third brew from these guys. Canned on date of 1/10/24. Excellent.

Draft at the brewery. Pours hazy gold/ orange with a 1" head that disappears leaving nice lacing. Aroma: citrus and pineapple. Taste: pineapple and citrus, then malt with a bitter finish. A great NEIPA.

2024 Revisit: Can poured into a Mountain Rambler Brewery pint glass

A: Pours hazy golden amber with a frothy off white head that settles to a light layer and laces nicely.

S: Ripe tropical and stone fruit, a little melon, bright juicy citrus, green resinous grassy notes, a little pine, a touch of spice, faint earthy herbal notes, biscuity malt, and caramel honey sweetness.

T: Plenty of ripe tropical and stone fruit, pineapple, passion fruit, peach, apricot, mango, cantaloupe, and a hint of guava, juicy citrus, tangerine, lemon, and grapefruit, a little pine, resinous green grassy notes, a touch of spice, a little earthy slightly herbal undertone, biscuity malt, and caramel sweetness.

M: A touch on the fuller side of medium body, slightly prickly moderate carbonation, yet creamy smooth.

O: I had this one for the first time last year and was so utterly underwhelmed that I figured it was an off batch or something must have happened to it in transit. No way could my experience be so far off from such a normally highly regarded beer, so I vowed to give it a second chance as soon as I saw it again.
Really glad I decided to give it another chance, this can is completely different experience and much more along the lines of what everyone else has said about it. There's still a bit of a herbal earthy tone that I'm not in love with that is holding me back from scoring it higher, but it is significantly less pronounced than it was in my previous can.
My overall impression: They pulled just about everything there is to pull from Mosaic hops and paired it with a ridiculously smooth malt base. I wouldn't mind the earthy herbal side being minimized a bit more, but I'd happily buy this one again.
