On tap at brewery:
Little more hazy than a typical Ocelot IPA, but pale to golden as usually. A really nice head and lacing bump the looks up a tad. Nose is very orange forward, more as it warms - the El Dorado coming out in its bubblegum nature eventually. A deep whiff brings a little cattiness - but the El Dorado perfume gets to me a bit.
Taste brings the fresh orange as well, with a little less bubblegum. Colder, it adds a nice pseudo-tang, but sweet impressions creep in as it warms. There is a stone fruit flavor that undercuts the orange a bit, with a core bitter melange grounding things loosely (little lemongrass in there, perhaps). Light carbonation and actually a medium light feel.
It’s a bit too fruit-centered and/or lacks a tough bitterness to fit the west coast moniker, in my opinion, but it isn’t juicy and lacking bitterness, either.
