Long-long time ago, last year actually, our Equinox IPA has dreamt of growing bigger, tastier, hoppier. You know this feeling, then you see someone great and yearn for the same heights. So who we are to forbid a dream? This year shortly before spring equinox our little boy has achieved his aspirations. So meet the grown-up, bold and seductively tropical, fruity, citrusy DIPA. And never betray your dreams. 16.5°

Clear golden, big ivory head. Big rich pale malt aroma, very light ripe citrus, more pine. Simlar good. Rich malty taste, very little proper hops, solid piney rainy bitterness. Clean smooth malty IPA.

Bit unclear, golden colored, medium white frothy head. Aroma is of malt, caramel, some diacetyl, orange, citrusy moderate hops. Taste is medium sweet malt and caramel, orange hardcandy, diacetyl, moderate citrusy and floral hops, grassy, medium+ bitterness, dry finish. Medium bodied, soft+ carbonation, oily. Probably not the freshest example.

330mL bottle, pours a cloudy golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out a nice herbal, piney hop character, with a bready malt base. Flavour is quite musty, with a fungal, earthy hop character upfront, with some bready malt, and even a cardboardy character (not one hinting at beer age). Musty and a bit jumbled. Not a great IIPA.

Bottled. Thanks Sandi and Petar! Honeyish golden body, white head. Dry apricot, honey, flowers, tropical fruit and maltiness in the aroma, creamy. Creamy taste, yoghurty tropical fruit / peach notes, herbal touches, ends very very dry and somewhat bitter with vague alcohol breaking through. Slightly perfumey. So damn lean, but otherwise a very nice beer. oh well.

Excellent double IPA from Varvar. Tasted from bottle. Pours a clear dark golden colour with little head. Aroma is very piney and with some fruit. Refreshing and citrusy. Some malt sweetness. Medium body. Flavour is nicely balanced, the heavy hopping met by a good maltiness. Hops still is dominant and the fruitiness of equinox shines. Citrus and exotic fruits are most present, with some herbal and grassy qualities. Pine bitterness in the finish. Very good double IPA!
