Bryant Bowlby, Wine Dispensary Beverage Expert, points out that East Coast hazy IPAs like this rarely venture so far west, and few carry the legacy that Trillium does. As one of the earliest pioneers of the style, Trillium remains a benchmark for hop-saturated excellence, and Comm Ave captures that legacy with juicy clarity and regional pride.

Sensory Description:

Pouring a glowing, hazy gold, Comm Ave unleashes a torrent of tropical and citrus aromatics. Waves of Cara Cara orange juice, ripe peach preserves, and clementine sorbet flow from the glass, supported by a juicy hop backbone and soft malt profile. A generous wheat addition rounds out the mouthfeel, creating a lush, pillowy texture that enhances the beer’s fruit-forward intensity. Bursting with energy yet impeccably balanced, Comm Ave is a vibrant showcase of Citra's power and charm.

Brewer's Background:

Trillium Brewing was founded in 2013 by JC and Esther Tetreault with a vision of modern New England farmhouse-inspired beers rooted in community and sustainability. From a small brewery in Boston’s Fort Point to a thriving network of taprooms and a working farm in Connecticut, Trillium has remained committed to artisanal excellence and environmental stewardship. Their Avenue and Street Series pay homage to the neighborhoods and history that shape their craft.

Serving Suggestions:

Serve chilled at 45–50°F in a tulip or IPA glass to fully appreciate its expressive bouquet and creamy body. Ideal pairings include citrus-marinated shrimp, duck à l’orange, or a tangy goat cheese salad, all of which complement the beer’s citrus-forward character and lush texture.

Comm Ave delivers the essence of Trillium’s hop mastery in every sip, bold, elegant, and deeply rooted in its Boston home.
