Mystery beer [blind tasting]. Bottle without a label shared by Beersiveknown @ tasting at his place. Huge thanks Steve! Very nice clear reddish color, small off-white head. Aroma is malts, heavy hops, sticky resinous aroma. Taste malts, sticky hops again and also quite resinous and piney. Bitter finish. Tastes like an old IIPA that’s now a barley wine. Held up really well. Very nice!!

Bottle from O’Brien’s, Athlone [240117]
Copper red, clear, frothy white head
Aroma of spicy cereal, dab of caramel
Taste of spicy caramel malts, some bitter zest hops, bit toasty, the hops are mainly bitterness and a bit spicy, not that distinctive
Palate - Soft carb, medium body, bitter hops, good palate. Finish has quite a bitter linger
Overall - Quite decent, but Equinox hops seem a bit forgettable tbh

Taste of fruity caramel, red berry fruits, toffee caramel apple, rather malty
Palate - Medium carb and body. Finish is quite dry, some toasted malt, fairly bitter hop finish
