Permutation #62 pushes past the bounds of the upper limits of hoppy beer that we have explored so far! Building off our learnings from developing, brewing and conditioning both newer double and triple IPAs as well as milestone hop giants like Headroom, this triple IPA centers on some of our favorite varietals to sets the new high water mark for the largest hop charge, to date. We've learned alot about the notion and perception of our own limitations in so many aspects these days, we buckled in to drive past what we thought possible could be experienced in hop saturation with Permutation 62.

Expect a heavy haze apearance in the glass, with leaping aromas of pineapple, freshly squeezed, then concentrated orange juice and musky melon. Taste follows aroma, with deep and boundless layers of citrus and apricot candies. Luxurious mouthfeel partners with a backup bitterness to round out this investigation into the depth of possibilities of hoppy beer.

MALT: White Wheat, Pilsner, Flaked Wheat
HOPS: Galaxy, Citra, Mosaic, and Vic Secret

Picked this up when I was up in Massachusetts late last summer as I was on my way to see the Red Sox and Patriots play. Never had any other of the iterations of this series but thankfully, I grabbed one of the better ones as this easily and joyfully went down! Tons of hops and sticky fruit could be found here as this quickly took a hold on me and never let go throughout my time with this!

Not a bad pour to this as the liquid was quite dark, turbid, and apricot in hue with very little light seeping through. Some sediment settled at the bottom of my pint glass but not enough to detract from the overall experience that I had with this. Tons of candied sugar, fruit sweetness, mango, papaya, dank hops, kiwi, and heavy citrus in the nose as all of those came through in the taste. Sticky, sweet, and full of overripe flavors, tons of syrup, white grape, and honeydew came through as this almost felt like a bit of honey or sugar was artificially added to this. Thankfully, that wasn't the case as t was just an incredibly complex, full, and full-flavored beer that had plenty of wheat in it, leading me to need a good chaser of water once I finished it off!

Plenty of booze here too but with so much else going on, that was just on par with the deep and subtle depth to this beer. Had a hard time picking out the orange as there was more pineapple and rind going on here than anything else. Regardless of that, this was a winner and one of my favorite beers from Trillium, even though it was canned on 9/3 of last year. Nice job all-around with this one!
