Canned 01/30/2020 Let sit out for 10 minutes before opening.

Hazy orangey-gold, with light white head, that leaves a ring, and 3/8" of spotty lacing.

Smell is sweet orange(as in a creamsicle) , guava, cantaloupe, a slight piney/boozy aroma , dried pineapple, and a touch of lemon zest.

Taste is bitter orange - more sweet than the fruit & less sweet than marmalade, while still seeming like fresh fruit - , tomatillo minus the sour tang, a slight bit of honeydew melon, not-quite-ripe passionfruit, and a touch of pine+dank hop flavor near finish . Sounds odd, but it blends well together for a good overall flavor.

Feel is smooth light-side-of-medium, initially lightly creamy,with some light carbonation tingle kicking in towards the end. Actually feels quite light for 8.5%, but seems right for this beer.

Overall, a thoroughly enjoyable beer , and dangerously easy-drinking. Seems as though it might still be a bit young, and could even improve with a little time. Highly recommend!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This one pours a golden vibrant orange color, with a big fluffy head and lots of lacing.

I get pineapple, guava, mango, weed, resinous pine, etc on the nose. This smells delightful.

This is really quite nice. It’s like hop candy, with a heavily bitter and weedy finish. This is quite well balanced- it’s got a creamy taste that approximates nearly the milkshake style thing, without the actual milkshake process.

This is rich and creamy, with a sweet candied finish, and a soft level of carbonation.

EQ continues to make beers that are just right for my palate.

 

 

 

 

1/06/2018-Had dHop6 and it pours cloudy gold color with a 1 finger foamy off white head that faded slowly and left good spotty lacing. Tastes and smells of pineapple, orange peel, grapefruit, tart green apple, pear, light funk, fresh cut grass, wet cardboard, melon, biscuit, grains, cracked wheat, piney hops and light peppery spices. Tasty, complex and very smooth, another great offering from Equilibrium.
