Above The Clouds
Equilibrium Brewery

 

 

Copenhagen 13/5 2024. 47,3 cl can from Best of Beers web-shop. A hazy, cloudy sky with a bleak sun illuminating Equilibriums logo.

Pours unclear yellow with a big white head. Stable. Settles as uneven, lumpy layer of foam almost obscuring the surface of the beer. Substantial lacing.

Aroma is fairly intense with a mild odor of Stone frist mingling with more adventurous scents of turpentine and mural and a solid touch of citrus fruit. Mango and peach. Grapefruit.

Low carbonation. Slightly thick, oily, soft, flat texture.

Flavor is intense with a strong sweetness followed by medium strong bitterness. Aftertaste is bitter with a notable sweet undertone. Lingers for a while. Finish is semi-dry with a touch of alcohol.

Potent with a nice touch of Gasoline.

 

 

 

 

 

Tap hit at Stillwater Grill in Fort Myers, FL. Delivered thankfully ice cold, full pour leaves little foam.
Above the Clouds uses a heavy oat base and a whirlpool blend of Citra and Idaho 7. It’s then dry hopped it with Citra and a large dose of Nelson, plus just a touch of lactose to really elevate its already velvety feel. It pours an opaque bright straw yellow with aroma and flavors of mixed citrus, a touch of sweet pine, gooseberry and faint notes of white wine grapes. The Nelson hops are showcased well, the flavors deep and complex, and the #EQjuice finish is smooth and velvety.
Getcha pull.,.

 

Pours a hazy orange color with a frothy white head that provides significant lacing. Dank citrus (tangerine, mango, and lychee) and berry notes on the nose, which translate directly to the taste, with all the components having their moment to shine on the palate.

The mouthfeel is full and pillowy , on point for the style. Equilibrium is a world class brewery, IMHO, and this beer is another example of their prowess, because it’s exceptionally well executed.

 

 

One of the better DIPAs I’ve tasted in a long time.
Great hop profile.
Berry, citrus , sweet, a little funk, and very smooth.

Pours a completely opaque dirty straw color with a half finger of head. The nose has a solid dankness as well as notes of over-rippened citrus fruits. There is a blast of citrus upfront in the flavor profile. The back end of the flavor profile has some decent bitterness but also some cidery notes from the alcohol - what we have here is an 8% offering that drink like an 11-12% massive beer. The mouthfeel is resiny.

Served in a Tulip glass.

Appearance: comes off a very easy pale yellow with a thick white head which originally rose two finger's length off the body.

Smell: soapy like aroma which resembles a boatload of hops.

Taste: Bitter and a touch soapy taste. Malty and semi citrus sweet.

Mouth: A bit dry with a soft carbonation.

Overall: not a bad beer but not a great one either, could we also the fact that I don't have a fresh batch.

It’s really good, but feels harsh.
