Nestled in the bay just off the coast, Boston's Harbor Islands are rich with history and intrigue. Each is known for its unique appeal and backstory, with a string of larger narratives tying them together en masse. The Harbor Islands IPA series grew out of the exploration that took place in our Permutation Series, where we developed a new series of IPAs that showcases extraordinary hops, building on our team's experience brewing hoppy beer at Trillium.
Peddocks Island is the first installment in the Harbor Islands series - brewed with the signature Citra hop. The beer pours orange with enticing haze, and starts tropical with pineapple, mango and a touch of citrus on the nose. Fresh oranges take the lead on the flavor, with pineapple and grapefruit pith following, and a touch of candied peach sweetness following. Overall, a Citra saturated beer that showcases the vast array of incredible aromas and flavors that hops bring out.

GREY’S VIEW
Citra Single Hop IPA.
Ooomph! It tickles just the right places! I mean, it’s simple; lemon juicy, tutti frutti candied with few fruits, but it’s damn well done. Honey malt grows in slowly, but surely, giving some runny honey feel to the mix.
Mouthfeel is pillowy and soft, just slightly drying without any hopburn. Body reaches medium nicely while bubbles are soft yet plenty. Aftertaste offers slow and very enjoyable feel from Citra.
OTHER NOTES:
This would be perfect little IPA while camping in Peddocs Island or anywhere else for that matter. Easy, beautifully balanced and extremely pure piece.
