El Dorado/Galaxy combo

[Jonkl]

I'm thinking of doing a red IPA, using El Dorado and Galaxy. Any thoughts on the combination?

I'm fairly familiar with what Galaxy brings. Would El Dorado work with it, or would that be too cloyingly fruity? Would backing that up with some piney Simcoe maybe balance it out?

I'm sort of brainstorming. I really like the balance of caramel and hop in reds, probably even more than ipas. I'm not sure if I have a good hop combo for that or not.

I've done that combination before. It came out tasting like beer....good beer.
