Beer: Mettle

August 26, 2018 by thebeersbeer

Style: DIPA
ABV: 8.4%
IBU: –
Hops: Amarillo and Citra
———————————–
Brewery: Trillium Brewing Company – Canton, MA
Brewery IG: @trilliumbrewing
———————————–
Rating: 4.25/5
Notes: I found this one in the back of the fridge so I’ll admit it wasn’t as fresh as I would have liked. It was still enjoyable and worth drinking as all the Trillium beers have been for me. Not too sweet, hoppy and worth a try.
Can art: Nice illustration and design in the art part of the can. It’s the standard trillium can design with clean and clear lettering on one side and a cool illustration on the other.
Drinkage: Drank a bit old at around 2.5 months. ———————————–

Beer: 3-Way (2018)

Beer: 3-Way (2018)
Style: IPA
ABV: 7.2%
IBU: –
Hops: ?
———————————–
Brewery: Fort George – Astoria, OR, Modern Times – San Diego,CA, Holy Mountain – Seattle, WA
Brewery IG: @fortgeorgebeer, @ModernTimesBeer, @holymtnbrewing
———————————–
Rating: 4.5/5
Notes: Yes. I know. I’m way late to the game on this beer, everyone else has already posted it, etc. This is essentially my go to summer hazy IPA. Every year it’s been great, every year it’s easy to find and buy, and every year Fort George chooses some great collaborators. This one has a nice smoothness on it, probably from the oats and grains used, and isn’t sweet, has the right amount of tropical flavor and is really an enjoyable beer.
Can Art: Awesome illustration and design. Great!
Drinkage: Been drinking this all summer 🙂

Notes: Great experimental beer from Trillium. I’m glad to get whatever beers from them as they are always solid. This one was really enjoyable but I’m not too much in to the milk lactose for that milkshake taste. It’s good but I wouldn’t drink to many of these.
Can Art: Simple and stratight forward but nothing special. Clean and classy.
Drinkage: Drank a bit old at around 2 months so take this review with a grain of salt.
