Draught at Picco, 9/19/17.
Lightly-to-moderately hazy, drab, bronze-maize. White head atop slowly recedes to cover.
Very melon-forward in the nose with big bursts of juicy pineapple. El Dorado often comes off to me as very punchy/twangy with heavy melon/pineapple and yet while there is some of that here, the citrus character helps keep things even and somewhat "dry" in the nose. Idaho 7 adds odd spice/tea/earth/melon and more interesting, complex notes, as it is aught to do.
Juicy, rather "thick" texture with plentiful malt and maybe even a touch of caramel character. Rich biscuit and bread mix with pineapple, canteloupe, orange juice and pink grapefruit. Juicy, for sure, and with a soft texture, though maybe just a touch too sweet and heavy on the pineapple-melon.
