Using a mashed-up grain bill from Straight Outta The Laboratory and Ghost in The Machine, we used a massive dose of CO2 extract, Citra Incognito, and Citra T-90s on the hotside, followed by an insane amount of Citra LUPOMAX and Citra T-90s for the Double Dry Hop, still one of the heaviest dry hops in Equilibrium’s history. Ghost In The Laboratory pours an opaque and vivid yellow and has very strong aromas of extreme mango supported by tropical nectar. The flavor is explosive with extremely saturated notes of mango smoothie, Grovestand Orange Juice with plenty of pulp, orange tang, tropical fruit cup in syrup, dank grass, and a rainbow melon creamsicle note from our #EQjuice finish, all packed into a resinous and chewy mouthfeel.

Keg at Farmers Boy, St Albans, Herts. A hazy golden/orange/yellow coloured pour with a decent off white head on top. Sweet, hoppy, orange, mango, peach, tropical fruit taste and aroma. An enjoyable DIPA but quite sweet.

473ml can. Murky, orange juice-like, dark yellow-ish, golden colour with average to huge, firm, frothy, moderately to mostly lasting, white head leaving behind massive lacings. Juicy, citrusy fruity and grassy, hoppy as well as oaty malty aroma, notes of freshly pressed orange juice, some tangerine, lemon, zesty aspects. Taste is citrusy fruity hoppy and sweet-ish, wheaty and oaty malty, notes of orange, orange juice, some tangerine, a touch of lemon, mildly bitter zesty and tart-ish, citric and fruit acidic aspects. Creamy texture, smooth and soft, minimally cloying, simultaneously minimally dry and astringent palate, medium, mildly prickly carbonation. Very much on the orange (rather than the lemon) side despite all the citra usage - real orange juice should be envious of this brewed one...

Draft. An unclear golden beer with an off-white head. The aroma has notes of exotic fruits, hops, spices, and malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of exotic fruits, hops, spices, and malt, leading to a bitter finish.

Hoppy and fruity, a touch sweet, a bit bitter. Citrus, grassy, smooth, finishes dry. Very nice. Very similar to the original.

Can from Eltham Wines. Cloudy orange pour with a white head. Nose is zesty orange, mango, peach, pineapple, grapefruit. Taste is grapefruit, pawpaw, mango, more zesty orange, lick of lime. Gullet warming alcohol. Induces my acid reflux somewhat but it tastes too good to worry about such nonsense!
