Trillium Brewing's code is a Pack date — the date the beer was packaged. Drink within a window after this date based on style.
On Trillium Brewing packaging, the date code is typically printed on the bottom of cans or laser-etched on the bottle neck or shoulder. Some bottles also print it on the back label.
If the code looks smudged, partially worn, or printed in light ink, try angling the can under a bright light. Phone flashlights work well. The Freshie camera scanner can read most codes even when they're partially obscured.

Fort Point is Trillium's flagship pale ale, named for the Fort Point Channel neighborhood of Boston where the brewery first opened. Per Trillium's published specs it pours at 6.6% ABV and is built on a deliberately simple grain bill:
Hopping is Citra and Columbus, which is where the citrus, tropical fruit, and peach notes come from.
