I just get a very dry fairly thin beer a bit citrusy but very little else

What do you get from the ekuanot ?
Orange and tropical fruit or sage and eucalyptus ?
The fruit yes please the other euggh

I think orange can be challenging in beer but what I taste is more sage I guess, it’s just something out of place.

I've always found Ekuanot to have a green pepper thing going on with it.

I got pepper aroma but not taste. Funny how we all different perceptions of flavour

Didn’t get sage at all just orange and fruit

And how the same hop can display different characteristics in different beers. It's what makes it all interesting, right?

Least beer52 thing they have ever sent! I like it, maybe should be more bitter.

Day 5 - their standard entry level hazy, available in a lot of bars round here. Citra, mosaic and simcoe. Standard.

I have serious concerns about this. Salt is very much for chips and egg in my book. Not for beer but I will try it in a while.

It’s not prominently salted , not very sour. Boon kriek (if that’s what it’s called?) is much better but this was ok for a little variety.

Well it’s not drain pour thankfully.
