Opened Doors is a vibrant American IPA that celebrates a decade of brewing with an intense, modern hop profile. The strategic combination of Mosaic and Citra—utilized in Spectrum, Lupomax, and T90 formats—delivers an explosive sensory experience of tropical mango, blueberry, and zesty grapefruit. A clean, lean malt backbone ensures the hops remain the focus, offering a resinous depth and a refreshing piney finish. The beer balances firm bitterness with a crisp, dry character, reflecting a sophisticated evolution of the style that remains highly drinkable while showcasing the pungent, aromatic complexity of its signature hop varieties.
