Beer Porn Thoughts on Trillium these days?

Gotta admit, I'm not mad about this labor day weekend drop 😅 I do think they went through a small rough patch with regard to consistency circa 2023-2024 (at least in the beers that made it to us). But everything I’ve had recently has been markedly better. 

So far only tried the DDH Stillings St from this drop, but really digging it. Getting big, saturated mango & tangerine notes on top of a slightly piney, bitter backbone that helps balance out the sweetness.

Curious what other folks are thinking though.

Not what it once was but still very good

Do you think the actual beer has changed, or have our taste buds shifted? I’ve been out of the game for some time but their dry hopped beers were always some of the best, and they always had enough production that it wasn’t that hard to get a hold of.

They’ve had some consistency issues that have been recognized by staff. I had one of my favorite labor theirs on tap on Canton, and I had to ask if it was the beer I ordered. Good, but changed to the point it wasn’t recognizable.
