El Dorado hop is famous for its intense fruity aromas reminiscent of pineapple and pear, along with notes of watermelon and mango. These characteristics make it highly attractive for beers seeking an exuberant and tropical aromatic profile. This aromatic profile originates from its high concentration of monoterpenes such as myrcene and humulene, which are responsible for its fruity and slightly spicy notes.
Developed and released to the market by CLS Farms in Washington in 2010, El Dorado is a relatively new hop that has quickly gained popularity in the brewing industry. With an alpha acid content ranging between 14% and 16%, and total oil content of approximately 2.5 to 2.8 ml/100g. Named El Dorado, this hop evokes the legend of a place full of treasures and wonders, reflecting its ability to enrich beers with a range of vibrant and exotic flavours and aromas.
