Balance is finding the point between two opposing forces for a more desirable outcome: Equilibrium. We crafted our Equilibrium English-Style Ale with balance as the primary objective. You'll find the caramel malt character and full body you expect from an English Ale, balanced with a generous dose of hops that gives Equilibrium a distinct fruit flavour and mild bitterness.

Slightly hazy copper pour, with a large beige head. Great nutty, bready malts with some sweet caramel malts too. Nice hopping, crisp, but slightly citrusy, with light stone fruit. Incredibly well balanced, a easy drinking esb.

473ml can. Fantastic, minimally milky, reddish amber colour with average, frothy to creamy, moderately lasting and lacing, off-white to sulphureous head. Slightly fruity hoppy and slightly nutty, minimally spicy, malty aroma, hints of red berries. Taste is slightly dry, nuttily malty as well as slightly bitter and fruity hoppy, hints of hazelnut pellicle, red berries, a touch of caramel in the background.
