Can from Stacks. Hazy ochre, stable, foamy, white head. Aroma of pineapple, lychee, lime, melon, dough, sherbet, onion, gin. Taste has sweet pineapple & melon, sourish lime & citrus zest over a doughy malt body. Softly bitter citrus pith & some dank notes in the middle. Floral hops in the finish, lingering juicy citrus, pine and warming gin-like alcohol. Medium to full body, oily texture, soft carbonation. Quite sweet but rounded and full-bodied.

Can from One Stop Market. Inky, opaque black, thin cap of head quickly fading to a ring, nice sparkle, light viscosity, trace lacing. Aroma is strong roasted malt over milder bitter chocolate and coffee with spice (cinnamon?). Taste is strong roasted malt, molasses, late hints of bitter chocolate and coffee (mostly in finish). Smooth, thick texture, medium bodied, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Good complexity and excellent strength of both aroma and taste. Very nice.

Panda thanks to Cloin. Hazy gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Light palate, mildly dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Slightly thin bodied pale malts but sweet enough. Hops bring vibrant fruits and cooling pine. Tangerine, a little floral lime, tangy stone fruits, ripe white wine and a touch of tropical fruits on the close. Very bright and fruity!

Pint can. Pineapple aroma with notes of grape, lime, orange, grapefruit, mango, tangerine and grassy hops. Pours hazy golden colored with a large off white head that has excellent retention and lacing. Starts with juicy pineapple, mango, lime and tangerine flavors. Finishes dry and zippy but still quite smooth with grape, grapefruit and grassy hop flavors. Bright and refreshing. Quite good.

Panda thanks to Cloin. Just a light haze on this gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Light palate, semi dry, good fine minerally crispness. Light smooth pale malts, a light but pleasing creamy sweetness. Smooth cooling pine. A fair dose of hop spice. Light bright fresh orange and mandarin and tangerine. Trace of peel. Light hop spicy finish. Nice light bright clean IPA that showcases the old Citra warhorse pretty well. Long hop spicy linger.

Can, however completely forgot where I got this from. Had this at home Friday 19th December 2025 listening to Daniel Avery - Tremor, we're having homemade Chimichangas for tea tonight. Pours mid gold, hazy with a white sticky head. Mouthfeel is nice, smooth, creamy and feels more like a DIPA mouthfeel than a IPA. Juicy with a nice exotic fruit hit, soft squishy passion fruit, orange and melon, this is nice. Score 7.0

Can from Beer Republic. Fruity hop with citrus, orange, tropical notes, but there's a strange off-flavour that gets in the way. Moderate bitter, light sweetish. A disappointment coming from otherwise solid Equilibrium.
