Very crisp golden and barely copper coloured body with a very thin pure white head that leaves a very thin lace on top. Aroma of very strong blackberries and lemons with limes and some piney hops noticeable as well with a dry malt and sweetness that makes this crisp in the nose, at least. Light-bodied; Very crisp citrusey and dry, grassy and herbal notes shine at first with a light dose of limes and of course the blackberries without much malt at all noticeable and only a sliver of sweetness that cracks its way through the very tart elements. Aftertaste is crisp, dry and very tart with a lot of fresh fruit noticeable and not much sweetness or complexity, but that is perhaps nicer when the weather is warmer and you want something easy and not cloying. Overall, a good beer to sample, especially for the last of the night and great to sample fresh and on tap here in Colorado! I sampled this ten ounce pour on draught from Equinox Brewery/Taproom in downtown Fort Collins, Colorado on 31-January-2022 for US$6,00.

Deep dark brown coloured body with a thinnish light brown and deep tan head that fades fairly quickly. Aroma of coffee, cereal malt, coconut and some dried figs with a little yeastiness and bread here as well with a touch of grain, but quite strong in the nose. Medium to Full-bodied; Relatively rich malts and sugars show through everything here and make this viscous and syrupy with some birch and maple syrup notes and a light molasses and fig/pitted fruit punch towards the end, without too much malts or complexity - this is straight-forward and relatively sweet without as much depth as i'd expect. Aftertaste shows the sweetness, a light dose of alcohol and a bunch of pitted fruits, but not much else and no real complexity here, which is very surprising for the style, but doesn't show anything bad, just neutral and nuanced without anything pungent. I sampled this five ounce pour on draught from Equinox Brewery /Taproom in downtown Fort Collins, Colorado on 31-January-2022 for US$5,00.

Very crisp and clear copper and soft golden coloured body with a thinnish, two centimetre tall off-white head that stays afloat for a long time and leaves a very nice lace on the sides. Aroma of slight skunk with a big grassy and herbal kick and some floral notes, but the skunkiness at the end is very strong as well as the yeast, which is noticeable as well. Medium-bodied; Relatively crisp grassy and slightly herbal flavours with some perfumey hop characteristics and a little bit of a caster sugar sweetness near the end that brings some balance to the dryness and the bitterness. Aftertaste shows a crisp and refined finish with a lot of grassy and lemoney flavours and some subdued biscuity malts with the nice sweetness and a noticeable, but nowhere close to 10 per cent stength. Overall, a nice and crisp beer that has a lot of flavours and hits well throughout without much complexity here. Great to try, especially on tap and super fresh. I sampled this ten ounce pour on draught from Equinox Brewery/Taproom in downtown Fort Collins, Colorado on 31-January-2022 for US$6,00.

Super light but almost too thin of a body. A nice touch on their golden ale, just a touch of roast. Equinox Fort Collins

Taster at the brewery. Pours a deep, reddish-brown color, with a medium, frothy, beige head. The aroma is smooth rye, caramel, black pepper, and juniper. Sweet up front, with a sharp, mellow bitterness. Medium body, with a smooth palate and a sharp finish. This is a mellow, simple, and pretty nice rye IPA.
