OG's Axe
Equilibrium Brewery

The tap pour is is milkshake-cloudy, a mango-flesh color and topped by a half cm cap of white foam.
The aroma is of papaya and tangerine and is significant.
The flavor is more tropical than citrus but the hop bitterness is moderate and burns a bit.
The body is smooth.
This is quite enjoyable.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A: Pastel pineapple, turbid and hazy. 1/2 F of white, foamy head.

S: Soft honeydew. Pureed strawberry. More sweet tropical fruit. It has a pleasant and defined sweetness that is also a touch strong, and might bury some lighter florals or dankness underneath.

M: Med bodied. Thought the feel was a little coarse with racing carbonation and prickly acidity. I appreciated it drinking a little lighter, but I don't know if it matches the tone.

T: Big juicy fruit flavor with red grapefruit zest and blood orange tempering the sweeter tropical flavors of melon, mango, and pineapple. Pepper, grass, and spicy yeast finish.

Pours a hazy straw color with nice lacing and head. Smell is tropical citrus. Taste has notes of citrus, grapefruit,melon and mango. A soft mouth fell with little bitterness or ABV shown/tasted. Very good except for the price.

 

 

 

 

Strong papaya up front followed by the ol' grapefruit and some creamy goodness. There's also a bit of sparkle or zestiness laced in there that's satisfying and gets your attention. Mellows out a bit as it warms...

 

 

Teaming up with Fiden brewers, Equillibrium spearheads a collaborative effort in IPA making that celebrates the unique flavors that Citra, Strata, and Galaxy hops hold. Brewed to imperial strength, this team effort hazy IPA has area wide hop heads chopping at the bit.

Matte with golden orange hues and pale in a pastel sheen, OG's Axe patiently releases a creamy slightly sepia-stained froth. With the bold perfume of citrus, tropical fruit, pepper grasses and hemp rolling off of the rim, the initial taste is creamy, sweet and malty with suggestions of shortbread, pastry dough and honey.

As its caky maltiness settles onto the middle palate, the hops begin to roll in as well, bringing a burst of tropical pineapple, passionfruit, mango and guava. Once the hops sharped their bite a bit, a nearly as bold citrus complement of tangerine and pink grapefruit add a slightly acidic zing. Trending herbal on the late palate, still hints of currant, peach and apricot pull from the hops ahead of a smooth cannabis-laden finish.

Medium full, creamy and somewhat unwavering, the beer's turn toward dryness, bitterness and crispness is compromised by its enormous fruit flavors and its sherbet-like textures that hold firm through a malty-sweet finish and a medium length linger of cereal and grain sweetness. A simmering gin-like warmth teases with a sense of dryness to bring a sprucy botanical bite to the back of the throat.
