The Cutting Tiles series is built around single-hop Double IPAs that showcase individual hop varietals against a consistent grain bill of Pilsner malt, Flaked Wheat, White Wheat, and C-15 crystal malt. What distinguishes this series from conventional double IPAs is the use of raw local wildflower honey in the brew, which ferments out to leave a remarkably dry, deft body while contributing a subtle earthy backbone — a deliberate counterpoint to the lush tropical character of the hops. The DDH designation indicates a second dry-hop addition of Mosaic, intensifying the aromatic payload without adding bitterness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e The nose opens with potent sweet stone fruit — peach rings and candied apricot lead — before shifting into juicy pineapple and ripe mango.

Fish and chips benefit from the citrus and gentle bitterness cutting through the fried batter. A Thai green curry mirrors the hop earthiness while the fruit notes cool the spice. Sharp cheddar or gouda offers a salty-sweet contrast. Fresh fruit salad with pineapple and stone fruit creates a complementary dessert pairing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat sizes does DDH Public Garden come in?\u003c\/strong\u003e DDH Public Garden is available in a 4-pack of cans, Trillium's standard packaging format for their hop-forward IPA releases.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs DDH Public Garden worth the price?\u003c\/strong\u003e DDH Public Garden positions as a premium craft IPA, in line with pricing for other highly rated double dry hopped releases from top-tier New England breweries — the 92 BeerAdvocate score and consistently strong Untappd reviews reflect genuine quality that justifies the premium tier.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eWhy DDH Public Garden?\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe double dry hopping of the Public Garden base recipe is not just a branding exercise — the additional Mosaic and Strata hop charge measurably intensifies the tropical aromatics that define this beer's appeal. With a 92 on BeerAdvocate and over 3,500 Untappd ratings averaging 4.2, the crowd consensus is clear and consistent. The grain bill, particularly the Flaked Spelt, gives DDH Public Garden a textural softness that separates it from more abrasive West Coast-leaning IPAs at similar ABV. For drinkers who want a fruit-forward, aromatic New England IPA from one of the style's most respected breweries, this 4-pack delivers exactly that without excess sweetness or cloying residual sugar.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Trillium Brewing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44839327269033,"sku":"39206","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0680\/1024\/6313\/files\/Trillium-DDH-Public-Garden-4__68084.jpg?v=1730519632"}],"url":"https:\/\/theliquorbarn.com\/collections\/trillium-brewing.oembed","provider":"The Liquor Barn","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
