DJ Roomba (El Dorado)
Mile Wide Beer Co.

Remixing another hoppy beat, the brewers at Mile Wide clean up the hazy pale ale taste with an El Dorado hop focus and a refreshing taste of candied citrus that the unique hop variety provides.

Once again kicking off with a pale golden hue and a tarnish haze, DJ Roomba looks the part of New England pale ale underneath a blanket of cotton white froth. Fruity with citrus and tropical character the beer's bouquet is also bright and botanical. Its crisp and sweet upstart is lightly biscuity with shortbread, light honey and toasted pastry.

The showcase for flavor, however, is the hops that spring to life on the middle palate. Skirting over any malt influence, the taste of branch ripe tangerines, red grapefruit, cantaloup and mango bring an estery, hoppy brightness to the forefront. Herbal with the spice of sweet sun tea and verbena, a soft bitterness looms with a bright smooth spruciness in tow.

Medium bodied but chased into dryness by the peppery nature of hops, the beer continues to take on a hoppy orange smoothie flavor into a medium long finish of sassafras, verbena and fresh grassiness akin to botanical orange zest liquor.
