Year of New Beer: Launch Beer, Trillium Brewing (MA)

Written By: Dion on 07/22/2016

My first experience with a brew from one of the hottest beweries on the east coast. Orange peel and pink grapefruit aromas strike the nose first, with trailing notes of dry grass, toasted grain, and a bit of a floral aspect. The tongue is very similar, with the pithiness of the fruit providing a bitter kick, joined by a slightly resinous pine. Juicy against an almost spicy bite. Smooth and very well integrated, with no single trait overwhelming. Delicious.
