The Project - El Dorado (Platform)
Brewery : Platform Beer : The Project : Dry Hopped Pale Ale Series - El Dorado Style : American Pale Ale / Pale Ale / APA Variance : None
9 / 10
Ok, so this is my first beer from Platform and I must say… HOLY SHIT! This is a fucking amazing beer and if the others are even close to this I am in for a treat just like I was in for a treat when I wandered in to the women’s locker room at the local gym. Wait, that wasn’t a treat, it was a felony. My mistake. Anyways, Platform has officially earned a place in my heart with this one starting with a super smooth almost melon like flavor before some mild oniony hops and floral bitterness mix in with some citrusy notes before wrapping up with a light sweetness and a light and clean aftertaste. I was originally a little worried that the beer wouldn’t be able to live up to the awesome of the simple can it came in but it turns out that there was nothing to fucking worry about because this beer is amazing. If you are looking for an APA that sports some bold flavors but is still sessionable enough to polish of a 6 pack with ease, pick this project up because it kicks more ass than a soccer player on a donkey farm. That was dumb. Regardless, this is the perfect beer to bust your hop-hymen with and also a perfect beer for you craft-a-holics so make sure you snag a can ASAP.
