ABV: 4.9%
MALT: Pilsner, Valley Danko Rye, Dextrine
HOPS: Nelson Sauvin, Citra, Sterling

And a link to the beer description page:

Thank you!

I haven't tasted this beer (yet), but it sounds excellent! Based on my experience, it sounds like this (for 5 gallons):

7.5 lb German Pilsner malt
1 lb Rye malt
0.5 lb Carapils Dextrine malt
0.75 oz Sterling (60 minutes, 7.5% alpha)
0.5 oz Nelson Sauvin (5 minutes, 12.5% alpha)
0.125 oz Citra (5 minutes, 11% alpha)
Wyeast 2565 Kolsch

Make a big 3-quart yeast starter 2 days in advance. Mash crushed grains at 149 F for 1 hour. Runoff and bring to boil for an hour, adding hops per schedule. Chill, aerate and pitch yeast. Ferment at 63 F for 5 weeks, then lager for 1-2 more weeks until clear or add gelatin to clear if desired. Include diacetyl rest mid-way through fermentation if necessary.

Cheers and good luck.

Thanks Dave. Saw your posts on a different beer-focused community board.
Before end of summer, I expect Trillium to release another batch. When it does, I'll reach back out to you.
