Hazy lemon yellow with stacks of clingy, loose white froth; pineapple sorbet, whiff of diesel, lemon balm, and melon balls on the nose; grapefruit zest, canary rind, Bartlett pear, Juicyfruit, underripe pineapple, a thread of dank, lemongrass finish; soft, boozy, medium.
El Dorado + Huell Melon
4 4 3.75 4 3.75
The best and the worst of both hops: El D is bringing all the bright candy + stone fruit it’s known for and HM delivers plenty of melon. But El D can also skew dank and HM I’ve found uncomfortably pungent - far more so than similar new school Germans like H Blanc or Mandarina.
The malts bring nothing to the party by design, the yeasty esters are less with every new Whiplash release, and judging by the burn at the end, some of those fruity notes are fusels, so I’m not even sure how cleanly brewed this is.
You end up with a fruit-salad-left-in-the-sun too long effect.
Some of the fruit flavours are fun, but this is not the creamy, craveable tropical rush that made their name.
Want to embrace a fact? Whiplash don’t make New Englands anymore.
