El Dorado IPA
I have plenty of ale and saison in the cellar, but the big bold IPA stocks are running low. So time to get a batch on for a typical easy drinking session IPA. Its been a while since i did an El Dorado IPA, which is one of my favourite american hops. Most people tend to use eld dorado as part of a more complex hop addition, but I find it stands up perfectly well used on its own, letting the big sweet stonefruit flavours come through, without being challenged by piney or citrus secondary hops.
