El Dorado hops are a popular dual-purpose American hop variety known for their high alpha acid content and intense tropical fruit and candy-like aromas.
Flavour and Aroma Profile.
El Dorado hops are celebrated for a unique and vibrant flavour and aroma profile that works well across a range of beer styles.
- Tropical Fruit: Prominent notes of pineapple, mango, and passionfruit.
- Stone Fruit: A range of peach, apricot, cherry, and watermelon.

- Bittering: When used for bittering, it imparts a soft and balanced bitterness that doesn't overwhelm the fruity characteristics.
