Following up on our first beer with Horus, Aquila; we scaled things up to a TIPA using our SOTL process. We started off with a heavy wheat base paired with an intense whirlpool of Citra, Mosaic, and El Dorado with a dry hop of Citra, Mosaic, El Dorado, and our favorite crop of Galaxy yet.
Altair pours a hazy and vivid yellow and has an aroma of citrus, pear, fruit cocktail, and papaya. The flavor is blended pear, orange, mango, papaya, and ripe melon; repharased: Five Alive juice drink with a grassy lime component that pops with each sip. This beer is soft and delicate for is size and our rainbow melon #EQjuice finish is waiting for you. It’s an easy drinker and will have you seeing stars quickly. Please enjoy responsibly while you gaze into the night sky tonight!

A very approachable TIPA .
Can smell some of the ABV via candied sugar that cuts through mélange of fruit salad meets darker stone fruits.
Has the typical equilibrium bubblegum element but this is a touch stickier with more lemon lime meets kiwi and over-ripe pineapple? There are additional sweet/sour elements playing off one another.
Very Nice for such a big beer.

Can into pint glass. Pours a hazy bright straw color with a decent off-white head. Initial impression is juicy sweet mango, grapefruit, orange, and apricot, with some earthy/resinous notes. Mouthfeel is smooth and soft. Alcohol is very well hidden. Finish is citrus morphing to a slight sweetness. Overall, a really enjoyable DIPA. I'm liking what Equilibrium is putting out lately!
