Located steps away from the trailhead of Great Blue Hill, our ambitious restaurant, taproom, and future production facility at 100 Royall Street in Canton is more than eight 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. Pouring a hazy, orange juice-colored golden yellow, 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 Trailside while exploring the beauty of Blue Hills and beyond.

It pours hazy yellow with a white head. It has excellent hread retention. There are strong stone fruit flavors featuring peach and apricot. It is a tad on the sweet side some grain and a slight berry element.

The beer pours a white and creamy head that dissipates quickly. The beer itself is a slightly orangish yellow and lightly hazy.
The smell is pretty good. It has a mixture of different citrus fruits like peach, orange, grapefruit, and lemon. There are more but are already listed in the description. There is also a grassy pine note among the citrus fruits.
The taste is delicious. It has the same mix of different citrus fruits with a bitter hop note.
The feel is good. The beer has a medium body and smooth feel. The carbonation is tingling. It's slightly acidic but not overwhelming. It has a slightly dry finish.
Overall, this is a pretty good NE IPA. Its body isn't overwhelmingly heavy and pretty good flavor and taste profile that more strongly resembles an old school IPA as opposed to a juice smoothie.

Can from the Packie
Pours a murky dirty yellow color with a huge bubbly white head that persists. Citrus tropical and stone fruit with bits of earthy bready flavors and yes gritty textures. Nice brew.

Picked up a four pack of cans at Curtis Liquors in Cohasset, Massachusetts for about twenty dollars. My eighty seventh brew from these guys. Solid, expensive.

Another solid NE-IPA from Trillium, which looked good, smelled good and was full of citrus flavors that were balanced by the malts and floral accents.
