On draft at Tavern in the Square in Norhtboro. No idea which version of Social Studies it was, but was guessing based on taste. Server had no idea.
Horrendous, didn't taste like anything made by a solid local brewer. Tasted like one of the big boys trying to make IPAs to stay current.

Canned 6/21/18
Pours a good sized foamy fizzy 1 finger head that fades at a med pace, a little lacing, super murky orange color
Nose is loaded with citrus and tropical fruit, a great representation of El Dorado, loads of stone fruit apricot peach blend, tangerine, pineapple, papaya, some mango, some rind and pith mixed in with pulp as well, a big malt aroma, gristy toasty cracker malt, very crackery
Taste brings a bunch more great El Dorado characters, big juicy citrus, stone fruit and tropical, mild citrus actually but loads of pineapple, papaya, some mango, a big of peach and a little apricot, mild tangerine and orange cream, more cracker malts again, a bit of toasted grains and doughy bread with loads of flaked wheat and possibly oats, soft creamy juicy throughout, drier finish with hop bitterness starting to ramp to a bit of a spicy hop
Mouth is med bod, juicy soft and a bit creamy, nice fluffy carb
Overall pretty nice, great representation of El Dorado, great hop characters, soft juicy, wish the malts were a bit less crackery, but otherwise quite nice
