El Dorado 2-Row SMaSH US-05
El Dorado hops should smell and taste like Tropical Fruit, pineapple and Mango with aromas of pear, watermelon, stone fruit and candy. This is my first batch using El Dorado. Here is the recipe I used:
2 LBS 8 oz 2-ROW
.39 oz El Dorado @ 30 mins
.29 oz El Dorado @ 5 mins
US-05 Yeast
.32 oz El Dorado 3 Days dry hop
Color: Golden yellow. Some haze
Smell: Hint of pear. Fresh hop, tropical fruit
Taste: Fruit lemon toasted malt hint of bitterness
Overall: I wanted more tropical fruit out of this one. You are getting some sweetness in the after taste. This could be from the candy.
