El Dorado® is a true dual-purpose hop, featuring high alpha acids and incredible tropical and hard candy-like flavors in later additions.
After a decade of careful growing and experimentation, El Dorado® is a hop that’s really coming into its own. Bursting with deep golden lupulin and high oil content, El Dorado® mixes well with other hops, delivers balanced bitterness—and offers truly unique tropical flavors and aromas.
El Dorado® is a dual-purpose hop with high alpha acids that lend balanced bitterness. In later additions and dry hopping, it delivers a juicy, sweet flavor and aroma.
El Dorado® offers the perfect blend of tropical fruit, watermelon and stone fruit with a distinctive sweet flavor that brewers often compare to hard candy.
Available in all HAAS® hop formats to meet your brewing needs, El Dorado® now comes in highly consistent LUPOMAX® pellets, flowable INCOGNITO® and T90 pellets.
As a dual-purpose hop, El Dorado® works in all beer styles, especially fruit-forward IPA, Hazy IPA (NEIPA), Lager, Blonde Ale, American Pale Ale, and Cream Ale.
