Trillium Brewing Company boat under train under car under plane – American Pale Ale at 5.5% ABV (C$13.25 at Collective, 473 ml, packaged on 17-Oct-2023, acquired 28-Dec-2023, reviewed 31-Dec-2023)
Appearance: hazy pale gold with two fat fingers of fluffy white head, good retention and minimal spotty lacing. (4/5) Aroma: tropical fruit, citrus zest, cereal grains, stone fruit. (8/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate bitter. (8/10) Palate: medium-light body, moderate-lively carbonation, off-dry short duration finish. (4/5)
Hopped with Citra, Galaxy, Mosaic, malts are Pilsner, Maris Otter, and White Wheat. I probably had unrealistically high expectations here, but come on, it’s Trillium! (In Alberta, no less! How cool is that?) And that’s to suggest this isn’t damn good – it is – but it’s not, like, next-level great. Though, to be fair, it’s intended as a recovery drink version of PoCoToB (which I’ve not yet had), so the light character would appear to be completely by design. (16/20)
This will be my 5,724th unique Untappd check-in.
