American Pale Ale 5.6 º

Trillium Brewing Company

Tiny Chicken is a vibrant American Pale Ale that belies its 'Small Bird' status with a bold hop profile. A potent blend of Galaxy and Amarillo hops leads the experience, casting a sun-drenched array of bright citrus, succulent peach, and ripe melon across the senses. The use of locally malted wheat and Danko rye provides a subtle earthy and spicy grain foundation that supports the intense tropical fruit and orange flavors. It finishes remarkably crisp and dry, delivering the refreshing character of a sessionable ale with the sophisticated aromatics and complexity typically reserved for much larger beers.

Appearance. Pale golden (6 SRM) with a persistent, dense white foam head that leaves intricate lacing. The beer presents with a characteristic hazy and opaque glow, diverging from classic clarity to favor a modern unfiltered aesthetic.

Aroma. High intensity aromatics of fresh-squeezed orange and zesty grapefruit from the Amarillo hops, complemented by the tropical passionfruit and stone fruit notes of Galaxy. A light bready maltiness and a hint of peppery rye spice provide a clean, supporting background.

Taste. Initial impressions of navel orange and honeydew melon transition into deeper flavors of mango and peach. The mid-palate reveals a grainy, slightly spicy character from the Danko rye. Bitterness is moderate and well-integrated, leading to a clean, very dry finish with lingering notes of citrus rind and tropical fruit.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a soft, creamy texture enhanced by the wheat addition. Moderate carbonation provides a lively lift, while the finish is smooth and devoid of alcohol warmth or astringency.
