Trillium Brewing Company Crown And Crate

Crown & Crate brings together raw wildflower honey straight from Massachusetts hives, along with lactose sugar to create a unique and luxurious double IPA. The energy of buzzing hives is channeled in the radiant glow of this beer and the nuanced sweetness that dots its tropical flavor palate. The royal queen bees and the milk crates that give this beer its name both foreshadow delicious ingredients, and Crown and Crate is the perfect beer to kick off a bright and exciting spring.

Pouring a heavy, milky haze of deep blonde straw, Crown and Crate announces itself with dank and enticing aromatics of tropical fruit and honeysuckle that leap out of the glass. The palate opens with a wash of sweet summer berry flavors as notes of ripe cantaloupe, mango smoothies, pineapple sorbet and juicy apricot build in intensity. Medium bodied with a luscious mouthfeel accentuated by a creamy sweetness, Crown & Crate finishes clean with a pleasant bitterness calling to mind orange and grapefruit pith.
