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

 

[Caramel Ox]

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?

Tonight’s is more in my preferred abv range a 7.3% old ale. Like mcewans champion.
Dark and malty.

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.

This is quite fun.

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.

Day 6 and 7, which is a repeat. The sour is erm... A sour.

 

[Caramel Ox]

I don’t know what happened to the pour, I guess I was venting excessive carbonation. The beer is pleasant not very strongly flavoured but I could sink a lot of it I guess.

Last nights and tonight’s. Both beautiful beers.

I have saved my espresso martini for later tonight to share due to my dislike for lactose in beer.

It’s not really evident in this one. We’ll I don’t mind lactose so I didn’t detect it
