Alright, back to back pale ale reviews from Equilibrium. Pours yellow, makes 1/2" white head, good retention on this one. Aroma goes with a little bit of everything, citrus, tropical, stone fruit, berries, etc. . .

The taste is another sawft pale ale that drops practically every main hop flavor out there into a nice session pale ale package. I'd say citrus seems to be the most prevalent. You can pull more and more nuance out if you wait and let it warm a little. Pineapple, mango, guava. I'd say the body isn't as sawft/smooth as that neutrino one. Slightly less of a hazy pale ale here I guess. Maybe its me, got a little hit of weed from it too. There's a few hops that do that these days, Columbus, Strata etc. . .

Harley Cameron is a total smoke job. I will probably get her micro brawler that just came out. Anyhoo, these are worthy of being in your fridge.

 

L- Lightly golden yellow body with a nice rocky head. Decently hazy.
S-Nice tropical fruits. Lemon. Sweet guava and papaya, mango. Hints of strawberry. Slight pithiness. Sweet powdery candy sugariness. Floral. Delicate throughout.
T- Notes of strawberry and tropical fruits up front. Green piney and zingy bitter hop. Lemon grass sourness. And maybe even a slight note of lime. Some beautiful funky/floral esters in there as well.
F-Velvety. Nice carbonation. Refreshing but delicate.
O- wonderfully crafted. A ton of flavor for the alc %. Very well done.

 

 

Copenhagen 24/9 2020. 47,3 cl can from Best of Beers Web-shop. Equilibriums take on Pin Floyds Dark Side of the Moon cover on the can.

Pours dirty, haz, golden yellow with a big, white frothy head. Settles as lumpy layer of foam unable to cover the surface of the beer. Massive lacing.

Aroma is medium intense with a sweet fruity and exotic scent mingling with citric odors. Peach and pineapple. Touch of Fanta. Citrus and lemon.

Light carbonation. Slightly thick, soft, smooth, lightly tingling texture.

Flavor is medium intense with a medium strong g sweetness followed and balanced by a medium strong bitterness Aftertaste is bitter. Lingers for a while. Finish is dry.

Pleasant, well-balanced, easy to drink, soft APA.

 

 

 

Hazy, yellow color. Nice, white head. Tropical fruits, peach, and malt in the aroma. Soft, juicy taste with moderate bitterness. A good one but one of many.

Photon pours a clean, yellow color with a huge long-lasting, lacing head. The aroma is light and has a nice, clean, crisp cereal and bitterness to it. The flavor is a clean, crisp, bright cereal with very mild bitterness and hints of green tea. Good feel. Overall, ait is pretty plain pale ale with hints of tea but lots of flavor.

 

 

 

16 ounce single - could not find canned on date.
Pours out a murky pale orange golden with two plus fingers of creamy slightly dirty white head that slowly fades to an irregularly bubbly cap before dissipating. Creamy layer returns with gentle swirl.
Nose initially hits with pineapple and citrus, but as warms layers of mango, tangerine, dank peach, and even a hint of berries - aroma is fantastic.
Juicy tropical fruit on the palate, again with mango, pineapple and tangerine along with some peach - some crackery malt sweetness and a touch of dankness and soft resinous bitterness.
Light end of medium mouthfeel, moderate carbonation but lively on the palate with a balanced fruity bittersweetness.
Wonderful beer that is something I would reach for on the regular at sub 5% ABV. These lower ABV beers deserve more love.

It says pineapple peach and mango amongst others and I definitely catch all these but it also seems like lychee too is in the taste. Interesting mix for a light ale. Oddly more prominent in taste than smell though. Decent mix though and tasty for a 4-5 percent ale.
