This is sort of a hot mess. Some great elements but just sort of odd overall. Terrible balance and just not that enjoyable to drink. I'm a big Beer'd fan but this is a miss for me.

Slightly hazy, bright golden ale, topped with a mild (~1 finger) head of off-white foam. Good retention and lovely lacing.
Intensely juicy and sweet hop aromatics: tangerine, mango, candied fruit, pineapple, and a bit of banana. I'm not picking up any of the malt profile.
The candied fruit aroma becomes overpowering when you go in for a sip, but the flavor is much sharper. Still fairly tropical, with a bit of citric acid flavor, and a sharp green herbal note slicing through.
Flavor is much more balanced than the aroma indicated, although the pale malt is just barely noticeable as a slight, honey-like sweetness.
Extremely drinkable for such a big DIPA; very smooth at 10.1%. Very lively, no sting or alcohol presence.
El Dorado hops have not been my favorite when showcased in a single-hop format, and this beer reinforces that opinion. It's a very well-made beer, but the flavor profile just isn't doing it.

32oz growler from Beer'd. Pours a semi cloudy yellowish amber color with an inch of head. Good amount of lacing. Fruity aroma. Lemon, lime, dark cherry and tart tangerine. The taste is much like the aroma. Lots of dark cherry as well as the tartness of the lemon, lime, grapefruit and tangerine. Noticeable alcohol presence. Light bready notes. Finishes with more cherry and lime. Medium bodied. Overall, a very fruity and slightly tart high ABV Imperial IPA. Well done.
