Eh…..overrated.

Drank from a 1 pint can purchased at Trillium Brewing Company, Boston, MA

Served in a tulip

Solid appearance. The beer poured a fuller bodied, yellow-orange hue that looked very similar to Tropicana orange juice. A small, creamy white head rose above the body, but it quickly broke apart. After a few minutes, a dollop of froth sat in the center of the liquid and a fine collar encircled it.

The aroma was impressive. Tropical fruit notes dominated. Really juicy and dank. Loads of ripe pineapple and mango. Good dose of passionfruit too. Subtle lime notes were detectable as well. Not sure I would pick out the guava however. Beneath all the fruit additions was a fantastic base beer that was led by dank, mosaic hop notes. As the liquid warmed, the fruit presence mellowed and the hops intensified.

The flavor profile was similar to the nose but perhaps even punchier and more fruit forward. Pineapple came through big time on the front end. Juicy mango and passionfruit notes were apparent as well. The beer was anchored by a dank, mosaic hop base. Pink grapefruit appeared as the beer moved along the palate and intensified on the back end. The beer finished with a zesty lime kick. Overall, nicely balance between sweet and tart.

The mouthfeel was very solid. It was medium bodied for the style and contained a fine, moderate effervescence that turned creamy, slick and smooth on the palate.

Many fruit-infused IPAs seem like a novelty, but Two Hundred Thousand Trillion was impressive in every regard. With this beer, the fruits merely provided an accent to an already terrific double IPA. I would gladly drink this again, especially when the warmer weather months arrive.

Pours an opaque orange gold with a receding thin frothy white foam head. Smells like strong fresh stanky tropical passionfruit, mango, pineapple, guava, lime, with notes of peach, grapefruit, orange citrus, berry, and dank floral earthy grassy pine. Tastes like fresh tart juicy passionfruit, pineapple, mango, guava, lime, with notes of peach, grapefruit, orange citrus, berry, and dank floral earthy herbal grassy pine. Feels medium-full bodied, creamy smooth with moderate carbonation. Overall a really nice tropical fruited DIPA.

Poured on 4/2/2023 from a 16oz can into a US tumbler pint glass.

A: The beer is a very hazy deep yellowish gold color, with a short white head that fades slowly and leaves a thin lace on the glass.

S: The aroma contains strong grassy and dank hops, strong juicy citrus and tropical fruit, caramelized malts.

T: The taste likewise starts out with a strong grassy and dank hops bitterness that is quickly followed by a strong juicy citrus and tropical fruit sweetness. The malt character is hearty but not too heavy and brings a very good balance. The after-taste is slightly hoppy and slightly sweet.

M: Very crisp and very smooth, medium body, medium carbonation, finish is slightly sticky.

O: Very tasty, goes down quite easy, not too filling, strong kick, very good representation of style. This is an excellent DNEIPA to drink for a long time.
