Nerdsense Drinks Reviews – #23 Trillium Free Rise Citra Dry Hopped Saison

This week the guys review Trillium’s Citra Dry Hopped Farmhouse Saison, Free Rise!

 

Trillium Brewing Free Rise Dry Hopped with Citra

Style: Farmhouse Saison
Container: 22oz Bomber
Glassware: Flute and Tulip
Overall Nerdsense Rating: 4.25/5
Notes: (From the website) This special edition of Free Rise, one of our signature farmhouse ales, highlights locally sourced Danko Rye from Valley Malt and Citra in the dry hop. A floral, citrus hop profile is balanced with subtle, nutty malt character and a delicate black pepper spice. Light in body, with a clean, bone-dry finish, Citra Dry Hopped Free Rise is a welcomed addition to our family of farmhouse ales.

Nerdsense Drinks Reviews – #18 Alameda Yellow Wolf Imperial IPA

This is the last of the Portland beers. It was a sad day. This week we dive in to Alameda Brewing’s Yellow Wolf Imperial IPA!

From Alameda’s site

With over 100 IBUs Yellow Wolf has enough eye-popping intensity to satisfy even the most ardent hopheads. It has bright piney nose and light golden color. We suggest pairing it with sunshine.
