Star Light (Trillium Collaboration)
Equilibrium Brewery

 

Such a soft, complex beer. There's a lot going on, flavor and aroma wise, and it's all swirling around in the softest, delicate feeling body. You can barely taste the alcohol, too. Two thumbs up!

Canned on: Feb. 2025

A - Opaque dark medium golden tan with a huge, rocky, billowy head of white foam that sticks to the sides of the glass like glue.

S - Pineapple, peach, papaya, and citrus with some spicy dankness.

T - No surprise this follows the nose. Pineapple, spicy pineapple rind, papaya, peach, and some citrus while finishing more on the sweeter side with an underlying citrus bitterness. (nice spiciness also)

M - Pillowy soft and chewy.

O - Well-hidden ABV and very drinkable.

Poured a cloudy, yellowish body that looked like pineapple juice with two-finger head. Aroma comes across like a dry, peppercorn-covered cracker with some spicy acidity. Medium body, slightly creamy, and has a weird balance between tropical fruit sweetness that reminded me of a mango and a dry tartness that leads to a bitter finish.

 

 

 

 

Appearance is frosted dull greyish yellow, a Hazy for sure. Aroma of old citrus and damp newspaper. Foam dissipates leaving some coarse bubbles on top. The flavor is really peculiar. At first sip tastes like pumpkin with some sort of woody incense. Gradually it sorts out into the usual all orange all the time with a persistent candied orange peel taste. It's so sweet and cloying I'm not going to get half a glass down. No hint on the label this is a NEIPA, but I will know to avoid Equilibrium in the future. Another goopy fruit slop hazy. Adios.
