Photon is our light and crushable American Pale Ale loaded with pacific northwest hops. It pours a very hazy orange, releasing well-blended notes of apricot, tangerine, peach, mango, and pineapple. It tastes of soft juicy tropical fruits, hop resins, and a hint of biscuit. A smooth rounded bitterness with a touch of dryness ensures you’re ready for the next sip. This drinking experience is further enhanced with a soft and billowy mouth-feel that has made this the go to ale for the Equilibrium crew, especially when a productive day needs to follow a fun night.

473ml can @ Dynamo, Brussels. Smooth, very juicy and zesty with some pineapple, tropical notes, tangerine and orange peel. No maltiness or bitterness in the finish, pure juice. Not super fresh, but still okay.

Fairly turbid amber golden color. Amazing guava, lime and lemon nose. Light body, light bitterness, bright and citrusy, but kinda feel it could use a bit more bitterness. Still nice summer beer.

Pours a hazy, orange-pineapple, with mid-sized, lasting cap of white, foamy head. Aroma is citrus and tropical fruit, with some grassiness. Flavor follows, with a nice touch of bitter, pine-spruce hoppiness in the finish. Crushable is a very apt term for this beer...

Tumbler showing deep gold with half a finger off clean white foam. The nose shows moderately intense notes of mango and NE style malt. The palate is well carbonated and medium bodied. Mango and NE style malt forward with a bright citrus background and no bitterness.

16oz can pours a sunset orange with some soft, white head. Nose is floral and fruity, honey and flowers, musky melon, lime and a little stinky onion. Flavor has honey and melon, guava, lime, less stinky here. Finishes sweet and a bit thin, but quite fruity too.
