Scratch #452 starts with a grain bill of puffed Jasmine rice and 2-row pilsner malt. Layered onto this super-crisp, clean and delicate base are El Dorado’s notes of pineapple, stone fruit and pear. The result? A crispy lager that’s hoppy and aromatic but not bitter.

Poured from a pint can to a nonic pint glass. Look is pale, clear yellow with a frothy white head. Head lasts for a while. Nice lacing left behind as you sip. Steady carbonation bubbles rising up. Smell is slight citrus with lemongrass. A bit floral on the aroma too. Taste is light and citrusy up front. Pretty balanced between sweetness and bitterness. Not as dry of a finish as expected, aftertaste dies pretty quick. Mouthfeel is light and well carbonated. Overall, a very drinkable, yet unremarkable, brew.
