Oakham brewer Ed Sharman was blown away when he tasted a beer brewed with the El Dorado hop and was determined to brew one himself as part of our 2020 cask aged line-up.
There are bucketsful (literally) of El Dorado and Simcoe (plus some Centennial) in this new USA hopped pale, backed up by Maris Otter pale malt and plenty of Golden Oats.
Hop Slam?
A combination of two beers, one brewed with leaf hop and one with T90 hop pellets before the two are blended together to give a flamboyant slam of hop flavours.

Third of a pint, hand-pulled at an Oakham Tap Takeover on 2nd July 2021 in The Anvil, Shifnal (Shropshire). Clean and clear golden body with a tight white head. Fruity and very drinkable, my wife ended up having four half pints of this while I ticked away along the taps.

Keg at the Hop Garden, Harborne. Pours hazy orange with a small head. Aroma is bready and herbal lemon. Taste is bitter and grassy with a herbal apricot finish.
