Palate

At first sip, the palate is astringent but after a few minutes, the malt asserts itself for a wonderfully balanced brew. A quadruple dose of hops drives the palate beginning with a note of pine and shifting to citrus. Orange juice yields to a bitter finish of grapefruit and lemon atop an underlying sweetness of pineapple and mango.

Mouthfeel

Mouthfeel has a medium body and moderate carbonation.

Overall

Scaled Up is an absolute juice bomb that’s oh so flavorful and continues to improve as the beer warms. This Double IPA might not be the best that Trillium has to offer, but it’s damn good, just the same. Definitely worth a try.
