The experts here at Craft Brewniversity are here to educate you on a fantastic crafty American Double Imperial IPA we were lucky enough to try within recent weeks.  This special craft called Vicinity was brewed by the masters at Trillium Brewing Company based out of Boston and Canton Massachusetts.   This Craft is a must try when available at the Trillium locations.  Look - Has a hazy orange straw colored look.

Trillium Brewing Company's Deciduous Double India Wheat Ale

Image
Trillium   Brewery welcomed the start of fall with a Double Indian Wheat Ale craft beer named Deciduous that will knock your socks off.  This Double Indian Wheat Ale definitely made my short list of best beers I have had the pleasure to try. Deciduous was introduced to commemorate New England's famous changing foliage .  This craft when poured into a glass delivers an  orange medium body, foamy white head, with lower than usual carbonation.   The smell gives off an aroma of pine, grapefruit, melon, and blend of fruits . It is a soft and sweet beer that ends with a slight subtle bitterness. This unusual craft unfortunately was only available for a short time. It has not been retired but could potentially come back next fall.  This time next year keep an eye out on the Trillium's Canton and Fort Point locations to see if we are lucky enough for this craft beer to make a reappearance.  If it does, we HIGHLY recommend Deciduous. #IdTapThat...

Foam Brewers Fantastically Crafted Double IPA. Burlington, Vermont

Image
Took a trip to Burlington Vermont this past weekend and visited an amazing craft brewery called Foam Brewers .  This brewery is located right on Lake Champlain in Burlington with a great waterfront view.  I am a massive fan of Double IPAs and fortunately for me Foam Brewers had a impeccable one on tap called Mountain Energy . This delightful Double IPA packed a punch at 9% ABV and had delicious notes of citrus, ripe papaya, and dank.  Mountain Energy gave off an aroma of fruity dank hops.  It was medium bodied, and had an initial blended taste of a few different fruits such as ripe papaya, pineapple, and grapefruit.  The after taste gave a refreshing dank bitter finish.  I would absolutely recommend giving the Mountain Energy a try but it is a rotating craft beer so make sure to check before you go!  #I'dTapThat
