Located steps away from the trailhead of Great Blue Hill, our ambitious restaurant, taproom and future production facility at 100 Royall Street in Canton was more than 8 years in the making. During that time, we've incubated, iterated upon, and continued to endlessly refine our take on the New England IPA style. Trailside is the culmination of everything we've learned along the way.
Double Dry Hopped Trailside is the amped-up version of the original with a double dose of Citra & Strata in the dry hop. Pouring a hazy, golden yellow, Double Dry Hopped Trailside is a fine-tuned take on the classic citrus-meets-tropical Trillium profile. Keeping an eye toward new possibilities with Strata, while retaining the core elements of what works best in Citra, the aroma is a stunning display of smile-inducing hop saturation.
Fresh-peeled clementine, tangelo, and candied Meyer lemon notes are complemented by overripe pineapple, mango nectar, and fuzzy peach. Its juice-forward, no doubt; but an underlying ruby red grapefruit bitterness keeps us reaching back for more. Characteristically soft and palate-coating, we hope you enjoy Double Dry Hopped Trailside while exploring the beauty of Blue Hills and beyond.

16 oz can. Aroma is grapefruit rind, lemon pith, bread. Flavor is a bold amount of citrus pith/ rind character. Nicely dry texture but with a lot of pith bitterness. For Trill this is very average.

Draught Fenway, 1/4/22. Heavily hazy, bright bronze-canary. Smattering of white bubbles but no real retention. Juicy, lightly, and quite piney, though not really resinous. Cracker, mineral, white grape and peach bring up the rear. No booze or twang. Very dry in the mouth, pithy and piney though not scratchy despite the high attenuation and low honey-like sweetness. Soft enough maltiness with light citrus juiciness and plentiful rind. White grape and peach linger. Excellent dryness like the non-ddh version but less biting acid/rind/pith.
