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.

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%)
