Trap Door Brewing

16oz poured into a pub nonic; mostly clear yellow-gold with mild carbonation and a finger of bright white head. Nice new-school nose and palate, juicy and fresh, clean and drinkable; mango, grapefruit, pale malt, citrus rind, floral, smooth and creamy. Very easy to drink.

Poured into a Seattle Beer Week pint glass. Pours a light to medium golden amber with a three finger white head with good retention and light lacine. Aroma of pale malt, citrus and tropical fruit hops, orange, pineapple, mango, light green onion and a hint of pine. Flavor is pale malt, citrus and mild tropical fruit hops, grapefruit, lemon, light mixed tropical fruit, a hint of dankness and pine in the citrus rind finish. Medium bodied with light to moderate creaminess. Lots of Citra influence in this IPA; although there was lots of tropical fruit in the aroma, I'm getting mostly grapefruit citrus with only moderate tropical fruit in the taste with a little pine in the finish. It actually tastes more like a traditional citrus forward West Coast IPA than the more modern hybrid versions of this style. Hoppy and crisp, a pleasant ale for this first fairly hot day of the summer.
