Trap Door Brewing Glowed Up

What the brewers say

“Citra, Simcoe, Amarillo hops, rolled oats for a blend of sweet fruits and zesty citrus.”

What our panel thought

“Aroma of pineapple, grapefruit. A smidge of evergreen adds complexity. Pillow-soft, bready maltiness showcases the guava, lemon candy, pineapple from the hops. Low bitterness. Alcohol presence adds depth.”

What our editors thought

“Big orange in the aroma with a sweet vanilla note that furthers the smoothie analogy. Hefty and bold in the sip, unapologetic in its orange sweetness, but fattened with a texture and pithy bitterness that support it.”

REVIEWS FOR YOU >

Trap Door Brewing Blown Up

“Nose is equal parts dankness and boozy heft, with hints of pine, caramel, green onion. Restrained boozy character in the sip. Pine, lemon, and some floral notes emerge from the soft malt body. The warmth re-emerges in the finish.”

Fort George Brewery Ology '22

“Strong chocolate-toffee aroma. Fig, prune, black currant. Rich, deep dark-chocolate flavor—almost imperial stout in roast quality. Sweetness lingers in a velvety finish with enough bitterness to balance.”

Urbanrest Brewing Company Perpetual Fog

“Classic IPA profile of citrus, pine, a fruity alcohol bite. Flavors of tangerine, lemon, a soft grainy sweetness. Up-front alcohol. Hits all the notes. Medium mouthfeel with a slight creaminess and minerality.”
