dHop11 showcases a continuing commitment to hop exploration and dedication to our creative process. For this recipe, we used a new blend of SIX different hops along with a touch of wheat. dHop11 pours a hazy gold that releases notes of tropical fruit. The taste is slightly dank citrus with a mix of tropical flavors, reminiscent of a delicious fruit cup. The beer showcases a reaction we have been working on leaving a dry but juicy finish.

L - pours a dark swampy haze. Classic EQ. Orange and brown. Oily head with a nice sheen to it.
S - oats, banana, and oatmeal. Orange syrup sweetness with lemony twang.
T - strong, bitter oats. Sweet vanilla and caramel bread. It's dank, there are Mandarin oranges, and it's sweet in a strange way. Cardboardy wetness and zesty berries. Neutral grass on the finish.
F - rich and filling. Fun to swish between the teeth. Minimal carbonation with flitting tingles here and there.
O - all Equilibrium beers are a little strange and this one is no different. Heavy on the oats, this one almost feels like it should taste unpleasant, but as always, is bizarrely drinkable. Not used to seeing oats used like this.

Cloudy, darker gold. The beer is like apricot juice in appearance. Modest head which leaves some blanketing lace.
I get a rather dry, cardboard smell initially. There's some sweet fruitiness and light hop in the background.
In the taste, the pale malt starts off semisweet. The hop provides balance but not complexity. The most interesting part is the distinctive pineapple flavor. Full bodied with an elevated effervescence. The finish is equal parts fruity and bitter, leaving a lingering bittering taste as the sweetness fades.
