Poured from can info IPA glass. It is a beautiful hazy and turbid yellow, almost little green from this cloudiness in color. Good head but went away Quick. Amazing look.

The smell is amazing, you get tropical hops like maracuya, and mango, and a hint of sweetness in The back- it is wonderful.
The taste follows The smell, but also has a citric hoppy bitter finish - hops all the way! and it is very bitter, but good. It has a médium and dense body, with good carbonation.
This is an awesome beer.

I also want to mention due to The flavor mixed with The good body and creamy feel it makes it extremely drinkable - then you realize this is 8.5%! Be careful jaja

 

 

 

Very good head production and decent retention. Body is hazy and opaque, arguably pulpy, but on the lighter shade of lemon yellow hue.

Wonderful tropical fruit-forward aroma, amplified by the very noticeable vanilla. Pineapple, mango, papaya, mandarin orange, lemon.

Less sweet and juicy on the palate, with quite the green herbal bite and a bitter, dank finish. Nice amount of bitterness overall. Flavors are similar to the nose, simply less prominently juicy, although it's still a fairly typical Trillium hop bomb.

Smooth, creamy mouthfeel, somehow both softer and fuller yet lighter than the ABV. The creaminess means that you could pound it down quickly (I don't recommend that strategy), but you can also sit and savor for a bit before the bite and bitterness gets you ready for the next sip. Fairly dry finish.
