What the brewers say

“Lemondrop and El Dorado hops provide spicy, herbal, citrusy hops aromatics balanced with light-toasted malt. Hops flavor reminds many of a lemon Starburst candy! Medium-body with a bitter, dry finish.”

What our panel thought

Aroma: “Peach schnapps and orange juice braced with pine tar. Complex hops aroma with bright citrus, grassy, orange, grapefruit, and white wine notes. Biscuit malt sweetness adds a backbone. Plenty of in-your-face hops aroma.”

Flavor: “Very tasty hops profile full of grass and resin and mint with a full puckering bitterness. Just a hint of malt caramel sweetness peeks out as it warms. Lots of sweet juicy orange and pineapple—fruity juiciness. The malt body helps hold the beer, and it finishes sweet with a slight bitterness; the hops flavor comes across as fruity with hints of blackberries, melons, and lemon.”

Overall: “A classic West Coast–hops hit that’s enjoyable and full-bodied. The flavors of the hops and malt worked well with a bitter drying finish that helped cut the sweet. Amazing American hops character with bright citrus, pine, and dank flavors and aromas.”
