Nerdsense Drinks Reviews – #392 Trillium Plane over Car over Train over Boat

We first reviewed this on February 15th, a day after it was released. We didn’t feel the beer was quite ready so it wasn’t fair to review it as such.

We let it sit a couple of weeks and re-reviewed it on March 1st. This video is a combination of both reviews.

Review 1: Mike: Maroon Shirt. Shaun: Hat

Review 2: Mike: Black Shirt. Shaun: No Hat

Style: Quadruple IPA
Container: 16oz Can
Glassware: The Streets (1st Review) 8oz Flutes (2nd Review
Notes: …we dosed this beer with massive additions of Citra, Mosaic, and Galaxy at our highest hopping rate to date. Pouring a heavily hazy orange color, the nose instantly is greeted with bold aromas of of creamy mango purée, candied lemon, tropical papaya, and underripe pineapple. (13%)

Nerdsense Drinks Reviews – #391 Tree House Double Shot Vanilla Bean

Style: Imperial Stout
Container: 500ml
Glassware: Teku’s
Notes: A version of Double Shot that accentuates the flavors of dark chocolate wafers and sweet cream filling balanced by a smooth and creamy body(9.2%)

Nerdsense Drinks – #389-390 Idle Hands Craft Ales & Double Citra Four Seam Review

This week we reviewed Idle Hands latest release in the “Seam” series, Double Citra Four Seam. We went off on some tangents in the review so decided to make a separate video while we gushed over how great Idle Hands is.

Style: IPA
Container: 16oz can
Glassware: Teku’s
Notes: We took our Flagship IPA and dry-hopped with twice the amount of Citra than normal. Thus resulting in intense flavors of candied citrus and background notes of dank, tropical fruit.(6.6%)

Nerdsense Drinks Reviews – #386 Trillium Permutation 109

Style: Imperial Stout
Container: 750ml
Glassware: Teku’s
Notes: Permutation 109 draws inspiration from two of our favorite inductions in the series so far: Numbers 52 and 57. Like those batches, for this special beer we took an imperial stout aged just over two years in bourbon oak barrels and blended it with a fresh stout brewed in stainless fermenters. Next, we added coconut, almond, vanilla bean, and our Trillium blend cold brew to amplify the palate with bold depth and decadent flavor. (12.4%)

Nerdsense Drinks Reviews – #385 Tree House I Have Promises to Keep

Style: Double IPA
Container: 16oz can
Glassware: 16oz Tree House Snifter
Notes: It is brewed with copious doses of Nelson and Citra in both the kettle and the dry hop. It tastes and smells strongly of citrus, sweet sauvignon blanc grapes, and gooseberries. It is loaded with flavor and yet maintains an easy drinking, mouth watering appeal.(7.9%)

Nerdsense Drinks Reviews – #384 Sycamore Double Fudge Brownie

Style: Imperial Stout
Container: 16oz can
Glassware: Teku’s
Notes: Rich chocolate fudge! We loaded this massive stout with hundred of pounds of decadent Belgian Chocolate!(9.2%)

Nerdsense Drinks Reviews – #383 Other Half 5th Anniversary Stout (Banana Variant)

Style: Imperial Stout
Container: 500ml Bottle
Glassware: Foam Glassware
Notes: Brewed with pilsner malt, malted oats and oats and hopped at 8 lbs/bbl with Citra, Galaxy, Mosaic, Nelson Sauvin and Citra Cryo (15.4%)

Nerdsense Drinks Reviews – #382 Other Half 5th Anniversary IPA

Style: Imperial IPA
Container: 16oz can
Glassware: The Streets
Notes: Brewed with pilsner malt, malted oats and oats and hopped at 8 lbs/bbl with Citra, Galaxy, Mosaic, Nelson Sauvin and Citra Cryo (10%)

Nerdsense Drinks Reviews – #379 Tree House Curiosity Fifty Eight

Style: Double IPA
Container: 16oz can
Glassware: Tree House 6th Anniversary Teku’s
Notes: For Fifty Eight, we took a close look at, and experimented heavily with, our fermentation and kettle hopping processes to coax a uniquely fruity flavor profile out of a blend of our favorite American hops. The body here is very dense, but never weighs down the palate… a beautiful base to carry a complex assortment of juicy fruit gum, honeydew melon, and jackfruit flavors(8.1%)
