This version of Broken Angel is fermented with our native New England mixed culture and aged in oak foeders. The aroma is reminiscent of oaky chardonnay, with notes of white grape, black peppercorns, and subtle vanilla. The flavor is moderately tart with slight coconut and citrus funk characteristics. Light in body with a dry finish. A delicious oaky wild ale that's super drinkable.

Pours dark hazy cloudy amber orange with a frothy white foam head. Smells like some barnyardy funk, hay, straw, fresh oak, vanilla, coconut, some white wine notes, lemon, pear, yellow apple, apricot, subtle banana, white grape, honey, light toasty bready biscuity crackery malts, hint of leather, mild peppercorn spice, wildflowers, and floral earthy herbal grassy hops. Compared to the complex and perhaps rather delicate aroma, the flavor here is just bursting with intensity and juiciness, fresh woody oak, vanilla, coconut, hay, straw, barnyard funk, hints of leather, white wine notes, lemon, pear, yellow apple, apricot, subtle banana, grapes, lychee, honey, light toasty bready biscuity crackery malts, mild peppercorn spice, wildflowers and floral earthy herbal grassy hops. Feels medium plus bodied, smooth and slick with moderate carbonation. Overall a really great wild Belgian Golden Strong Ale aged in oak foeders.

The least of the three sours we tried at Trillium on tap, but one that holds its own against the greater sour world nonetheless. Blurs the lines between sour and beautifully dry white wine.

On tap at Trillium Canton. Clear golden with a small white head. Smells oak, sour, with some golden malt sweetness behind it. Smells big. Tastes like an oversized golden sour. Sweet golden malt, oak, vanilla, moderate sourness. Back end is a little spicy with some fruity yeastiness. Alcoholic finish. Heavy. Nothing really wrong with it, except its absurd size. Detracts from drinking even a small pour.
