Nerdsense Drinks Reviews – #231 Other Half & Trillium Triangle Test

Welcome to a Nerdsense lesson in beerducation! I’m kidding, we don’t know enough to teach you anything.

This is Other Half & Trillium Triangle Test! We got our hands on the T-90 as well as the combination of T-45, T-90 and Lupilin Powder! We do them side by side and see how hop size can really change a beer.

Style: Double IPA
Container: 16oz Can
Glassware: Trillium The Streets & Stemmed NS BS Snifter
T-90 Notes: It’s hopped 100% with Citra T-90 and receives 2 dry hop additions. T-90 pellets are made by taking whole hops and milling them to powder before reforming them into pellets which retains roughly 90% of the original hop material. (8%)

T-90, T-45 Lupulin Powder Notes – Brewed with Golden Promise malt and 30% flaked oats. This version is hopped in equal parts with all the Citra hop products and is double dry hopped at an even higher rate. (10%)

Nerdsense Drinks Reviews – #220 Trillium DDH Congress Street

If you loved our Congress Street review because of how drunk we were then you’ll probably only be mildly amused with this one. We probably should have double dry hopped our livers so it goes along with the regular Congress Street review but meh.

Style: IPA
Container: 16oz can
Glassware: Snifters
Notes: This amplified version of Congress Street IPA is a focused exhibition of the Galaxy Hop. Milky and yellow-orange in appearance, Double Dry Hopped Congress Street emits fragrant aromatics of mango, pine resin, grapefruit, pineapple, and peach (7.2%)
Rating: 4.75/5

This is a blend of recipes of Trillium’s Dialed In and Monkish’s Dial the Seven Digits.  Is it delicious or does it lead to a throat filled with fire like their previous collab?

Container: 16oz can
Glassware: Flutes
Notes: Combining the recipes for Dialed In (our Double IPA brewed with various wine grape juices) and Monkish’s Dial the Seven Digits Double IPA, DUT7D is a harmonious marriage of dank hop flavors and smooth, subtle muscat juice.   (8.2%)

Nerdsense Drinks Reviews – #178 Trillium Congress Street

As you will notice right away, Mike and I did a good amount of reviews before this one.  Mike probably a little more than me…don’t worry though, the tables will be turned when we release our next video….

Style: IPA
Container: 16oz can
Glassware: Flutes
Notes: Our flagship American IPA highlights the distinctively aromatic Australian Galaxy hop.  The nose bursts with pine, citrus rind, melon and pineapple. Pronounced flavors of peach, clementine, and tropical fruits are accentuated with moderate bitterness and balanced by a light, biscuity malt character.   (7.2%)
Rating: 4.25/5 (Shaun thinks Mike was drunk and wouldn’t normally give this a 4.25)

Nerdsense Drinks Reviews – #167 Trillium Big Bird

We captured the illustrious Big Bird. This is the latest beer to come out of Trillium’s hype machine. It’s made with hops they won’t even tell us about it! I wasn’t aware some hops required an NDA…

It seems this was recorded with the camera mic vs the mixer mic. It still sounds good though. Hope you enjoy it.

 

Style: Double IPA
Container: 32oz growler
Glassware: Trillium The Streets Glass
Notes: Big Bird is featuring a new signature hop.  This new hop gives Big Bird an intense nose that zaps the senses with aromas of lime, overripe papaya, and pithy citrus. Flavors of pineapple and tangy grapefruit are balanced by a light body and dank, resinous finish (8.5%)
Rating: 4/5 (adjusted after review)
