Bottle from the brewery, shared by Nelson on 7/17/16.
Dark chocolate-dark mahogany body is topped by a medium-sized, tan head showing moderate retention. Clarity is medium to high.
Straightforward roasty, chocolatey coffee notes in the nose are joined by light fudge, vanilla and char. Some "hardness" on the end with a very high attenuation, it would seem, based on the nose. No alcohol or flaw.
Coffee and moderate graininess in the mouth with a fair bit of wateriness. Light fudge notes add some needed sweetness as dark chocolate and prune linger on the finish, alongside vanilla and more coffee. Pretty mild interpretation, which is a good morning drinker but it needs just a touch more oomph overall, especially as far as the texture is concerned. Very dry with low carbonation, loose at points.

Recent bottle, shared by Nelson on 7/16/16.
Hazy, thoroughly cloudy, blackberry-magenta or ruddy, purple-pink, if you will. Dark beige head is medium-sized and quickly recedes.
Funky, but not too much poop. Light wood and lots of fruit but very well attenuated and not really jammy-sweet at all.
Fruity, dry, light and with just a hint of wood and lots brett and soft lactic acid. More mild and less explosive than BBR and Pick Your Own, with stronger attenuation/integration of the fruit but still very well-made and highly enjoyable. Low amounts of tight carbonation and a soft, lightly malty texture with wood tannin. Lots of fruit acid lingering retronasal.

Draught at the brewery, 7/16/16.
Full pours in RI, hooray! A great beer for a full pour, being nice and sessionable.
Indeed tan in color, with a bit of glassiness and high clarity. Off-white head atop is medium-sized and shows moderate to moderately strong retention.
Very spicy in the nose, with herbal and very light floral suggestions. Definitely not what I associate with El Dorado, but then, who knows how much was used in the dry hop or whirl. Some light orange rind, black pepper, lemon and a hint of grapefruit. Malts show brown bread, very light caramel and vanilla-cream. No alcohol or flaw.
Malty up front, with light treacle-tinged brown bread, vanilla and honey softening things and tons of peppery, very lightly citric hops on the finish. Good attenuation and tight carbonation with a malty-soft texture though some hardness from the specialty malts. Lingering notes of orange peel, black pepper and even some herbal tea suggestions. Quite drinkable. Liking the pilot releases. Last time I was here it was a fairly traditional pilsner and now this. Keeps you on your toes....

Bottle shared at the Sander Stag. Pours hazy yellow-gold with a frothy, white head. Big juicy citrus fruits in the nose, orange, tangerine. Light-medium sweet flavour with minimal bitterness, more bright and juicy orange, pae bread. Light bodied with fine to average carbonation. More fresh and juicy citrus in the finish. Excellent.

Draught at the brewery, 6/4/16.
Copper-golden, good clarity and a white head showing moderately strong retention.
Light pine, mango and milder floral notes. The pine isnt aggressive and juicier pineapple notes emerge on the finish, which is dotted with honey and biscuit-like malt notes. Well balanced and aromatic but not the sheer lush intensity of hops that Eureka with mosaic carries. Otherwise, fantastic. Clean and resin/alcohol free.
Delicate malt notes dot the well-attenuated palate adding honey and light biscuit. Pineapple and mango dominate the hop profile with light pine and lemon growing stronger on the end. Definitely drinks and smells like at least 5% abv if not more. Impressive.

Draught at the brewery, 6/4/16.
Clear blonde with a small but fairly well-retained white head.
A very traditional pils, definitely didn’t see that coming. I love when brewers that are known for styles X and Y go and make a very well-executed version of Z. Floral, delicate, dry and crisp. Clean with a medium body and no American hop notes. Impressive. Love these guys.
