Five hop varieties—Warrior, Galaxy, El Dorado, Equinot, and experimental BRU-1, plus hops extract for added bittering—give this beer dizzying amounts of tropical fruit and citrus flavors followed by a piney finish. And if the barrage of melon, lime, orange, passion fruit, and papaya aromas wasn’t extravagant enough, Upland brewers added essential oil derived from El Dorado hops.
