Boobytrap

◎ Appearance

Deep mahogany to near-black pour with a dense, tan head that clings to the glass with good retention. The beer presents clear definition despite its dark coloration, with a moderate carbonation evident in steady bubble trails. Excellent lacing builds on the sides as you drink.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with roasted barley and subtle charred grain notes, immediately joined by bright citrus—grapefruit pith and lemon zest—from the Citra and Cascade hops. A tropical undercurrent emerges from Mosaic and Idaho 7, with a resinous, piney backbone that keeps the dark malt character grounded rather than overwhelming.

◐ Taste

Entry is full-bodied and smooth, with roasted malt anchoring the palate before bright citrus and grapefruit hop character cuts through cleanly. The mid-palate sustains a pleasant tropical fruitiness and herbal resin, while a moderate bitter bite builds toward the finish—assertive but not harsh, lasting around 30 seconds into the aftertaste.

◑ Finish

The finish is medium-long with a lingering dryness and subtle resinous char. Bitterness fades gradually, leaving a pleasant roasted grain memory and a final whisper of citrus zest.
