A Note on This Beer
The beauty of this Pyrite NEIPA is that you get to taste El Dorado Hops in all their singular glory. Usually, these cones get hidden alongside a slew of other hops, but today’s the day to taste this multi-dimensional hop all by it’s itself!
Pondaseta used a bursting 4.5 lbs of El Dorado cones per barrel in today’s brew. In the mash, the cones create a firm, but balanced wash of bittersweetness — the kind that tingles the palate and piques those curious taste buds. In the dry hop, they build bright expressions of ripe strawberry, sweet kiwi, zingy passionfruit, and even refreshing lemongrass aroma and flavor.
Each sip is succulently thick, too, like a viscous nip of fresh orange juice. It’s the ideal backbone for all that rich, tropical flavor!
Grab a can, and you’ll get your chance to bask in these cones’ super juicy, unique flavor. And, the next time you meet up with your craft-crazed buds for an IPA tasting, you’ll be the resident El Dorado hop expert, schooling them on what this tasty cone is all about!
