Had on tap at the Kickstarter party.

Nice big thick creamy foamy head never wants to fades, tons of lacing, hazy murky pale orange yellow color.

Nose brings doughy yeast, that fades off to a little grassy floral hop, lemony, eventually brings out a mild citrus fruit and melon note, gets slightly spicy. Young malt and hop profile like homebrew.

Taste brings lots of grassy flavours, grassy hops and malts even, little lemony, turns a little fruity, melon, faint citrus rind, touch of peach, mild sweet creamy malt base. Hops turn spicy and fair bitterness, little dry finish.

Mouth is med bod, softer feel, decent carb, almost nitro like little bubbles.

Overall pretty good, nothing too special but decent. I did get the first pour so it's probably better after.

Enjoyed at the brewery

A - Poured into a tulip a hazy orange hue with a thin head that fades to leave a thin blanket with some thin side lacing.

S - Aromas of light melon light tropical notes, faint green papaya notes as well. No real citrus per say just a very bright melon papaya thing going on.

T - Taste is awfully bready and yeast heavy initially, but, once the pallet grows used to that more melon comes through. Faint green papaya, like the green papaya in a Thai salad. Malts are a bit aggressive too

M - Mouthfeel is lightly carbonated, slightly thin.

O - Overall this beer was just okay. Not sure, either the Equinox hops are either old or aren't the best quality as their awesome aspects are clearly muted.
