Fractal Ekuanot
Equilibrium Brewery

 

Smells like straight up candy. A mix of sour patch kids and dried sweetened berries. I've never smelled a NEIPA (and I've drank quite a few) that punched me in the nose unexpectedly quite like this before.

Taste is much more dry than the nose would suggest. A lot of grapefruit and pineapple coming through for me. While I do still find it a little sweet for my taste, the depth and the clean dry finish definitely saved it for me. One of those beers I'll order every time I see it on the menu but I'll only have one or two.

I mean, if I'm being honest it's no Dhop..., but if it was any other brewery this would be a clear winner. I just haven't found a beer yet that EQ has put out that I disliked. Consider the bar set quite high.

 

 

poured into a tulip glass via draft

color is honey yellow with white foam

smell is citrusy, but lacks that normal EQ punch

taste is muted citrus with a bit of dryness

carbonation is medium and the mouthfeel is a bit light and lacking

 

 

I thought this was another outstanding IPA from Equilibrium. Tons of tropical fruits, peaches, mangoes, citrus, floal notes, and fruity malts. Easy to drink; I continue to be impressed by these guys.

Pours the expected EQ turbid, quite light, cloudy grapefruit juice, lifting a large and long lasting off white frothy cap, leaves great looking ringed sheeting and fields of lacing. Really great looking stuff.

Mild sniff of fruit, tropical n juicy..again pineapple juice coming to mind

More over the top juicy and tasty brew from EQ...pineapple, grapefruit, mango, dank and delicious...apparently last week release that was still available yesterday....got get some...cans vie a trade or perhaps on tap at the brewery...
