🌍 United States · New England Double IPA · One of 21 New England Double IPAs in hopIQ

Lambo Door is a hazy double IPA from the years when Grimm still brewed at partner breweries. For a long time it appeared only two or three times a year; since 2026 it belongs to the year-round range. It is double dry-hopped with El Dorado, Citra and Simcoe. The flavour runs to overripe peach, mango, Concord grape and coconut cream, with a sweet fruit-gum note in the middle. The body is soft and smooth, the bitterness stays in the background, and the 8 per cent alcohol recedes behind the fruit.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with stone fruit and tropical notes—overripe peach and mango dominate, underpinned by dark berry character from Concord grape. A subtle coconut cream note emerges in the background, adding a soft, almost creamy dimension. The hop expression is clean and fruity without aggressive resinousness or citrus bite.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with pronounced stone fruit and tropical fruit character, then transitions to a sweet, playful fruit-gum quality at mid-palate that balances the hop-forward structure. Bitterness remains restrained and stays in the background, allowing the soft, creamy body and saturated fruit flavors to command attention. The 8% alcohol integrates seamlessly, providing gentle warmth without heat or harshness.
