We brew Deciduous to welcome the return of Autumn and celebrate New England's ever changing foliage. For this new version we brewed an opaque Imperial Brown Ale. The nose omits pleasant aromas of pine sap, toasted bread and orange marmalade. Deciduous embodies the seasonal transition from summer to winter with an herbaceous lemon and spicy pine aroma balanced on the palate with a hearty, multigrain malt character and clean, refreshing bitterness. Deciduous is medium in body and dry on the finish.

Poured to a tulip.
A: The body is brown with some good haziness. The head is almost non-existent, but persists in the side of the glass. No lacing. No retention. But the body looks really cool.
S: The aroma shows some maple leaf aroma, followed by two big profiles of hops and malt.
T: The taste has a very nice and sweet beginning of coffee, coming from the mildly roasted malts followed by a very nice hoppiness and bitterness. This beer's taste is incredible.
M: Body is medium high to high. Carbonation is high. Bitterness is surprisingly high.
O: This beer is amazing, the first of its style to really leave me in awe.

This one had that great mothfeel that's typical of trilliums but it tasted like I was eating fall leaves. I got 2 4 packs from the brewery as trade bait and ended just giving this stuff away as freebies. it was bad.
