Cutting Tiles is an exploratory series of double IPA's featuring a range of aromatic single hop varietals brewed with raw wildflower honey. This familiar first version, formally known as Artaic, is dosed with 100% Galaxy in all kettle, whirlpool and two massive dry hop additions. The local wildflower honey keeps the body light and drinkable but provides a floral, earthy backbone. Juicy, candied peach and nectarine up front backed up with a nuanced white wine on the nose that continues straight through in the flavor profile. Pillowy soft mouthfeel, with a restrained bitterness on the finish. New variants to follow!

Pours a milky light orange with a 1F head and moderate lacing.
Smells of slightly dank grassy and piney hops citrus and sweet fruit.
Tastes of resinous hops, tangy wheat, lightly tart grapefruit, pineapple and mango with a salty, lightly bitter finish.
Medium light body with light carbonation. Smooth, dry mouthfeel.
This is a taste and aroma tour de force.

Look- beautiful golden hazy color with a thick fluffy head. 5
Smell - Tropical fruit notes, pineapple/mango/citrus, piney and grassy. Very dank. 4.75
Taste - Big bitter hop punch. Herbal/earthy notes. citrus pith. Sweet honey 4.5
Feel - Full mouthfeel with moderate carbonation. Sticky and coats the mouth 4.75
Overall- After 6 years of waiting for this highly regarded Trillium IPA, I figured it would not hold up to expectations. Well, I'm dead wrong. This is a damn near perfect DIPA. No hop burn, not overly sweet, not super dry. Great nose and taste. Oh and this is #250/250 on the BA top 250. After 10 years I finally finished the list.

Can poured into a Mountain Rambler Brewery pint glass
A: Pours hazy golden amber with a frothy cream white head that settles to a firm layer and laces nicely.
S: Juicy tropical and stone fruit, ripe citrus, floral notes, a touch grassy and earthy, biscuity malt, and caramel honey sweetness.
T: Ripe tropical and stone fruit, peach, apricot, guava, mango, passion fruit, and hints of white grape, juicy citrus, orange and a touch of lime, underlying grassy earthy notes, a bit floral, biscuity malt, and caramel honey sweetness.
M: A little on the fuller side of medium body, moderate carbonation, soft on the palate.
O: This can managed to hide in my fridge for a few weeks but I'd say it's held up just fine. Gives the full Galaxy experience with a fun twist of wildflower honey. If I ever see this one again I'll have to snap it up and see how much better it is super fresh.
