Just fruit, fruit and more fruit. El Dorado is frequently used in IPA styles, and there's pretty good reason why - it is packed with intense pear, watermelon and pineapple notes.

Can, thx Hrabren! Murky yellow-orange body, white head. Sugary orange notes, pineapple too, Similar taste, sugary citric and pineapple notes, ending in a strong bitter kick for the body, at times, at others it seems slightly watery. Hmm.. interesting. Maybe my palate needs more reset material than it is getting. All kidding aside, it does seem to mellow out. Overall, El Dorado's doing quite nicely here. Genuinely enjoyable stuff, El Dorado's a good hop by all means, but actually IMO might work better solo than in combination with something fruity.

Can, 0.5l. Hazy orange pour, one finger soapy white head. Good retention, lasting head. Slight lacing on the glass. Nice on the nose, clean and fresh, fruity and herbal notes, citruses and pine. Light to medium body, average carbonation. Smooth mouthfeel and texture, refreshingly fizzy, slight chewiness. Goes down nicely. Fruity bittersweet taste and aroma. Citruses, pineapple, pine. Zesty notes, grassy. Lingering bitterness that slowly builds up. Medium lasting finish, dry, bitter and fruity. Good.
