Featuring Mosaic, Citra, Nelson Sauvin, Simcoe, El Dorado, and Strata, The Harbor Islands pours a gorgeous light orange with a warm, glowing haze. Presenting intense aromatics in the same wheelhouse as some of our most intensely hopped offerings, fresh fruit bursts upon the palate. Tropical fruit salad, juicy peach at peak ripeness, candied citrus, and fresh-squeezed orange juice delight throughout the glass. Medium-bodied and plush, The Harbor Islands finishes semi-dry, with enough of a resinous hop bite to keep us coming back for the next sip.

GREY’S VIEW
DIPA w/ Mosaic, Citra, Nelson Sauvin, Simcoe, El Dorado & Strata.
After a good while warming up, this seems to be mellowed down quite nicely. Taste has those familiar fruits and the drying side is all there too. Feels quite nice, although not for beginners in any way. Mouthfeel is steady with sharpee~ish being and downgrated bubbles. It dryes up nicely towards the end without being exceptionally dry. But I think the warmth helps a lot. It’s a juicy piece.
OTHER NOTES:
Mmm. Clearly a Trillium. Looks like some of their beers requires time and warmth to settle down to present their best. This one was a nice little late evening juice.
