It was great having Mortalis Brewing come to hang a few weeks ago. We all decided to pay homage to the Hops we use on a daily basis. Lupus Salictarius, which literally translates as “wolf of the willows”, is disputably the first hop plants and is said to be the botanical name immortalized by a famous Roman Philosopher (who is also an extremely tasty West Coast IPA. Respect). Tying into the Latin references Mortalis uses, we decided on a recipe that showcases some of our new favorite hops to pay homage to the OG of hops and Lupus Salictarius was born.

We started off with a base of 2 row, flaked oats and white wheat before adding a giant addition of Citra and Idaho7 in the whirlpool. We dry hopped with some of our favorites; Citra, Nelson, and Galaxy to finish it of with a big bang. This triple is an absolute explosion of tropical dankness. Big guava, sweet tangerine citrus, white grape, and a touch of passionfruit. It has a smooth but prominent chewy mouthfeel and has big notes of our signature EQJuice that really showcases what these hops have to offer.

Can. Hazy gold beer, good pale cream colour head. Airy palate, mildly dry, a good fine minerally crispness. Light malts, would be at home in an apa. Super duper hoppage. Light cooling pine into bright fresh mandarin and tangerine, touches of peel and mango. Mild but persistent hop spice. Whisper of savoury skunk. Light finish. Wow. How to do a TIPA! Light on its toes, fresh hoppy attack and, dangerously easy to drink.

16oz can from Tavour. Hazy yellow/golden pour, fine, silky white head, solid lacing coats the glass. Light fruity, citrusy aroma. Taste brings in sweet , juicy, fruity, flavors, part tropical, part citrus. So tasty, so smooth. Very little presence of the ABV. Creamy

Heavy hop profile, a bit of grapefruit at the end. Really nice.

Pint can from Wine Cellar Depere, 5/26/22. Batch 3. Murky pale orange, large white head, good retention. Aroma of dank, melon, pineapple, mild tropical fruit. A dusty book note in there too. Taste is melon, mango, tropical fruit, citrus, dank, herbal notes. Juicy, low bitterness, booze well hidden, extremely slick. It's complex and a bit weird, but I like it.

Can labeled batch 3. Pours a slightly hazy deep gold with a slight orange hue and a white head that dissipates slowly to the edges and laces slightly. Aroma has dank pine, light marijuana and citrus rind with a hint of sweet onion underlying. Flavor has dank citrus and onion with a bit of sweet grains and dank pine backing.

Pint can at Battle of Bull, Cheras, Malaysia. Poured a hazy golden orange colour, with a frothy white head and some broken lace. The aroma is grainy malt, guava, orange and passionfruit citrus. The flavour is moderate bitter and sweet, with a fresh, smooth, rich, big juicy citrus, dank, light warm alcohol, floral hop palate. Medium to full bodied with soft carbonation. Well hidden alcohol which seems the norm form Equilibrium.
