Dialed Up builds upon the foundation of our series of Double IPA’s brewed with grape must, Dialed In. For this special release, we bumped the ABV all the way up to 11% and massively dry hopped the beer with Galaxy and Citra. Pouring a gorgeous maize yellow with a heavy, milky haze, Dialed Up offers an intense nose layering ample aromas of orange smoothies, overripe melons and sweet table grapes with dank, blooming pine. A bold wave of pulpy citrus leads on the palate with flavors of fresh squeezed pomelo, grapefruit, and blood orange. Next, the mid-fermentation addition of Chardonnay and Gewürztraminer juices converge with vinous notes of lychee, apricot, passion fruit, orange blossom honey, sweet pineapple, and roses. With a soft and creamy mouthfeel and medium-to-full body, Dialed Up’s finish balances its sweeter tropical notes with a moderate and enjoyable floral bitterness.

16oz can, Trillium snifter glass. Cloudy golden darker yellow body, one finger white head, great retention (for a high ABV beer, that is), not too much lacing. Smell is massive grapefruit and white grape juice emanating from the can as soon as I've popped the tab. Wow. Big grapefruit, herbal spice, tropical fruit, grape juice. It's matched by a fairly mild but robust caramel. Slight stone fruit accent. Flavour follows, smooth combination of big hoppy flavours including tropical fruit, papaya, mango, grapefruit and a bit of herbal spice. Moderate caramel. Fair bit of mild alcohol heat typical for a 11% TIPA. Big flavours, well-integrated. Mouthfeel is medium full bodied, good carbonation, mild alcohol heat intermixed with big herbal spice from the hops. Delicious triple IPA. Everything Trillium does except on a double dose of steroids.
