Taste Notes
Just had my first taste and the Equinox Pale Ale has a very citrusy aroma as you'd expect. Notes of citrus, grapefruit and subtle melon which gives a very mouth watering expectancy of another gulp straight away lol Very refreshing. Ive not used Equinox before and it works really well with Mosaic hops. If you like a sessionable citrus smack to your beer then this should be right up your street. For my first Grainfather beer i'm very pleased with it and i will definitly brew this again.Notes
My First Beer with my new Grainfather 2016. A bright citrus hop forward flavoured beer. I had some Equinox hops left over and wanted to finish them off in my first brew and brewday oddly enough is the Spring Equinox, hence the beers name.
