New England Wild Ale
Trillium Brewing Company

 

Clear gold with a sparkling central pillar in the body building a soft fluffy bright white head settling to a tall persistent blanket.

My first taste indicates Altoids characteristics and I'm a little hesitant to continue to dig in at first. The soft effervescence is fleeting, and the light body has a tingly feel that brings up additional hay, funk, grass and lemon and so my interest is piqued. Herbal wildflower develops further and then it becomes unusually easy drinking and quenching, as flavors of apple juice and grape juice kind of boggle my mind.

This beer is quite the rollercoaster. It's certainly different. Oddly tasty.

Pours orange and hazy. Good sour smell with lemon and peach and grass. Great balance of fuitiness and farmhouse sour. Medium bodied crisp beer - not too sour and well balanced.

 

 

 

This one pours a fairly hazy and creamy looking orange, with a small head, and lots of lacing.

This smells mostly like sour and funky lemon and peach, with some grassy/hay funk as well.

This turned out really well for me. It's super fruity and funky, with lots of hoppy peach and grapefruit character, a nice lemony funk, and a hint of herbal/grassy character.

This is medium bodied, crisp and slightly creamy, with a good level of carbonation.

This is simple, but clearly well crafted and very tasty.

 

 

Pours a clear pale gold in color with a touch of chill haze. There is a fizzy, frothy white head that rapidly disappears completely. Aroma and taste are both lightly tart with a bright acidity that reminds me of lemons. There is also a light funkiness. The beer finishes dry and relatively balanced. Medium-light bodied with very high carbonation that borders in effervescent despite the lack of head. Overall this is a very drinkable beer. Much more drinkable than their other wild ales. I’d like to see this wild culture used much more often.

Not my preferred style of beer. Went out on a limb to try a friends suggestion but literally wanted to spit it out. I'll stick with the delicious Congress Street!!! To each their own.
