This doozy of a review comes courtesy of Mike’s bachelor party. It appears Shaun was having more fun than Mike was!
Style: DIPA
Container: Growler
Glassware: 4oz ballon glasses
Notes: tropical fruit, soft resin, nutty (9.2%)
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?
Style: DIPA
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%)
Rating: 3.75/5
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)
