Double Dry Hopped Mass Ave
Trillium Brewing Company

 

This was another Trillium offering that I traded for recently as it was just a bit below par, regarding what I've come to expect from them over the years. No, it wasn't bad but it could have been more flavorful as this wasn't an improvement over their regular and more well-known iteration of this.

Of course, this was golden, cloudy, and topped off with a fluffy head that settled evenly, as there wasn't much of any lacing left behind. Much more peach, grape, and stone fruit were in the taste as I couldn't detect the aromatics here although the mouthfeel was what I've come to expect from these guys. Dank mosaic, weed, and pine emerged as this warmed up as this was one of the more laid back beers that I've ever had from Trillium. A bit of fruit cocktail and spelt emerged in the aftertaste as this was a bit more heavy on the palate than I would have liked.

At least the alcohol wasn't terribly noticeable, with just some warming taking hold of me as I finished this off. Dated 2/14, this held up well and was fine to kick back with but I've come to expect a knockout from Trillium every time and this just wasn't quite up to that level. If you like Mosaic and their brews, this would satisfy but this just didn't break any new ground for me.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Poured from a can dated 10/11/21
Thin soapy head, dissipates to a thin cap, cloudy yellow color and medium soapy lacing
Aroma of peach and mango and some aromatics
Taste is muted peach, mango and cream. There is a pine ness to it.
Mouthfeel is fairly smooth and creamy, slight bitter finish with a bit of a lingering sticky feel
Extremely easy drinking, hides the alcohol well, not real bitter and slightly dank.
