El Dorado, Comet.
Looks the part, but the nose is simpler than you’d hope with a candy shop hop like El D.
Those fears are confirmed by the flavours: all diluted and washed out, like a piece of Juicyfrut that’s been chewed too long.
Body goes a long way towards saving it - wheat and oats double up for smoothness - and give it some on-style drinkability.
So far I’d drink it in summer, but not at a fiver a can.
But that’s as quickly taken away by a whiff of burn that can’t be explained by a ruffian hop like Comet: this may just not be cleanly executed. Gradually hops are overcome by bits of tannins and fusels until the glass goes warm. Drainpour.
Another Whiplash disappointment (and a terrible tribute to The Misfits.)
