Liquid El Dorado Crystals
Modist Brewing Co.

I got bought a can of this beer from a beer store in LaCrosse, Wisconsin whilst there for my daughter's gymnastics meet. It poured a hazy orangish with white head that is leaving some nice lace. The scent had papaya and guava notes. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with mild mango, papaya, and guava presence. The mouthfeel was medium in body and had good carbonation. Overall it is a solid beer.

 

16oz can from Tavour. Hazy yellow golden pour, one finger fluffy white head. Aroma is a melange of elements, stone fruit, tropical fruit, floral notes, oranges. Taste adds melon, dank and funky aspects. A bit sweet,ba bit bitter. Dry. Really all over the place, but interesting.

Hazy, pale yellow color with a strong white head that lingers. SRM of 7-8. Complete haze here. (4.50)

Aroma: Strong and somewhat dank tropical aromas of berries, some deep grapefruit, melon. Some earthy and grassy flower notes underneath. Very earthy, but not herbal.

Flavor: Strong and somewhat dank flavors of resinous berry, grapefruit, blueberry, gooseberry, blackberry. Hints of lychee. Some pear on the end and finishes with and earthy and sweet berry flavor.

Feel: Medium to heavier bodied. Strong carbonation. An extremely smooth and full mouthfeel. Can feel the oats in this beer. (4.50)

Compared to Blacklist Brewing Hazy Project iPA 4/29/22: Pours a lighter, hazier color. Stronger aromas. More earthy berry notes.



Overall: Some great haze here. This one nails the berry flavors while being oatmeal soft. Earthy and lots of rich berry. Some tropical melon & mango, but mostly blueberries and blackberries right from within the forest floor. Delicious hop flavors and showcases the El Dorado hop well with the earthy berry and melon flavors. I almost would have pegged it as Mosaic. The appearance and soft, yet full body, are wonderful as well.

CO 04/06 Pours a hazy straw yellow color with a 1 finger head and lacing. Smell has citrus,peach,pear and berries . Taste is soft fruity with pear notes then with orange and apple . A soft mouth feel with slight tingling pine in finish. El Dorado not my favorite hop
