We’ve got another Massachusetts favorite this week! We got some Trillium Double Dry Hopped Melcher Street!
Style: IPA
Container: 22oz Bomber

Notes: This amped up American IPA features a heavy dose of Mosaic hops. The spicy, resinous, herbal aroma bursts with nuances of tart citrus, tangerine, clementine, and subtle green onion.

Style: Double IPA
Container: 12oz Can
Glassware: Snifters

Overall Nerdsense Rating: 3.50/5 — We were thrown off by how much our tastes have changed given this was one of the craft beers that got us really loving it.
Style: Strong Ale
Container: 22oz Bomber
Glassware: Spiegelau Snifter and Firestone Walker Tulip
Notes: Nose: Oak (obviously), maple which adds sweetness on top of bourbon. Taste: Smooth and balanced. Sweetness and mellow compared to the normal Arrogant
Overall Nerdsense Rating: Nose: 4.25/5
**BLEND** (Shaun’s favorite part!) 4/5!
You lose the oak and it kind of makes the regular Arrogant a little more smooth and tasty

HEADY TOPPER *MIC DROP*
Style: Double IPA
Container: 2 x 16oz Can
Glassware: Small tasters for look only then drank from the can
Notes: (From website) Take a big sip of Heady and see what hop flavors you can pick out. Orange? Tropical Fruit? Pink Grapefruit? Pine? Spice? There is just enough malt to give this beer some backbone, but not enough to take the hops away from the center stage.
Rating: 5/5
