Canned on 4/29/21 and opened on 5/22/21. Hazy and yellow. Decent head and retention after the pour. Getting some peach and grapefruit on the nose. Smooth, mild flavors - nothing too bitter or hop forward. White grape must that lingers on the palate. Little bit of peppery spice on the finish.

A beautiful pale orange, milky, with just a hint of translucence. Head is minimal, quick to fade, with very fine line lacing. Grapefruit juice nose. Flavor is a burst of wine grape, as the beer aspects recede, with a light juicy finish. The result is tasty and quite drinkable, but perhaps not as much an IPA as I might hope.

L - pour is a mildly translucent milky haze. Yellowy gold with head that looks like soda. Big, noisy bubbles that dissipate before you can say, "check out that lacing bro!"
S - pale wheat and lemongrass. White grape juice, a hint of vanilla, and oniony melon.
T - crisp and refreshing. A little doughy, a little grainy, a little grapey. Floral, zesty, and a touch pithy. Water seems to be a dominant flavor...? They might've dialed this one down a bit too much.
F - smooth and velvety, but falls victim to that classic Trillium fakebonation. Feels blatantly gas-carbonated and froths up a bit too much, meaning if you do anything but gingerly pour it down your gullet, you're left swallowing a big mouthful of air. *buuurrrrp*
O - this is a 7.1% IPA? I've had Trill pale ales with more oomph than this. The below commenter is right; I was looking forward to something in a tighter, easier-to-drink package, but Trillium took it a step too far with the dialing down. Muted is right.
