Over the last two decades, America's Test Kitchen has taught millions of cooks how to tackle any kitchen task - from peeling garlic to baking croissants - with confidence. Our latest collaboration, How To Pale Ale, is our tribute to teaching and sharing. In the spirit of openly spreading knowledge and information, we've published the full recipe on our blog for those who wish to recreate this beer at a homebrew scale. Click here to check it out! Once we settled on the How To concept with the Test Kitchen crew, we wanted to build a Pale Ale recipe that felt quintessentially Trillium. We sourced local rye and triticale malt from Valley Malt to build a canvas for three of our favorite and most often utilized hop varieties: Citra, Galaxy, and Mosaic.
The resulting beer is as infinitely bright and tropical as it is drinkable. Pouring a bright golden color with a soft haze, notes of fresh pineapple, dried mango, and orange peel fill the room as soon as the can is cracked. A gentle piney bitterness creates balance, while a soft, fluffy mouthfeel never tires the palate.
ABV: 5.5%
Malt: American 2-Row Barley, Valley Rye Malt, Valley Triticale Malt, White Wheat

Poured from a 16 oz can into a tulip glass.
Pours a hazy yellow gold color with a finger of effervescent white head. The head leaves a nice ring of cobwebs before settling into a thin sheet.
The aroma brings notes of grapefruit, pineapple, orange rind, and honeydew melon, before a wave of cereal grains and wheat bread.
The flavor brings a lot of citrus, namely grapefruit and lemon zest. There's also some pineapple and melon before a subtle piney finish. Wheat and fresh dough are present throughout.
The feel is medium-light bodied with lower carbonation. Soft and creamy with a dry finish.
Overall, a good, well-balanced pale ale. There's honestly not much to say about this one. It's nicely flavored and easy to drink. Nothing special but still solid all around.
