jgb9348	3.5 Equinox Something Sour Very crisp golden and barely copper coloured body with a very thin pure white head that leaves a very thin lace on top. Aroma of very strong blackberries and lemons with limes and some piney hops noticeable as well with a dry malt and sweetness that makes this crisp in the nose, at least. Light-bodied; Very crisp citrusey and dry, grassy and herbal notes shine at first with a light dose of limes and of course the blackberries without much malt at all noticeable and only a sliver of sweetness that cracks its way through the very tart elements. Aftertaste is crisp, dry and very tart with a lot of fresh fruit noticeable and not much sweetness or complexity, but that is perhaps nicer when the weather is warmer and you want something easy and not cloying. Overall, a good beer to sample, especially for the last of the night and great to sample fresh and on tap here in Colorado! I sampled this ten ounce pour on draught from Equinox Brewery/Taproom in downtown Fort Collins, Colorado on 31-January-2022 for US$6,00. Wednesday, March 9, 2022
jgb9348	3.5 Equinox Midwinter Warmer Deep dark brown coloured body with a thinnish light brown and deep tan head that fades fairly quickly. Aroma of coffee, cereal malt, coconut and some dried figs with a little yeastiness and bread here as well with a touch of grain, but quite strong in the nose. Medium to Full-bodied; Relatively rich malts and sugars show through everything here and make this viscous and syrupy with some birch and maple syrup notes and a light molasses and fig/pitted fruit punch towards the end, without too much malts or complexity - this is straight-forward and relatively sweet without as much depth as i'd expect. Aftertaste shows the sweetness, a light dose of alcohol and a bunch of pitted fruits, but not much else and no real complexity here, which is very surprising for the style, but doesn't show anything bad, just neutral and nuanced without anything pungent. I sampled this five ounce pour on draught from Equinox Brewery /Taproom in downtown Fort Collins, Colorado on 31-January-2022 for US$5,00. Tuesday, February 1, 2022
jgb9348	3.4 Equinox Super Collider SMASH IPA Very crisp and clear copper and soft golden coloured body with a thinnish, two centimetre tall off-white head that stays afloat for a long time and leaves a very nice lace on the sides. Aroma of slight skunk with a big grassy and herbal kick and some floral notes, but the skunkiness at the end is very strong as well as the yeast, which is noticeable as well. Medium-bodied; Relatively crisp grassy and slightly herbal flavours with some perfumey hop characteristics and a little bit of a caster sugar sweetness near the end that brings some balance to the dryness and the bitterness. Aftertaste shows a crisp and refined finish with a lot of grassy and lemoney flavours and some subdued biscuity malts with the nice sweetness and a noticeable, but nowhere close to 10 per cent stength. Overall, a nice and crisp beer that has a lot of flavours and hits well throughout without much complexity here. Great to try, especially on tap and super fresh. I sampled this ten ounce pour on draught from Equinox Brewery/Taproom in downtown Fort Collins, Colorado on 31-January-2022 for US$6,00. Tuesday, February 1, 2022

Beaver	4 Equinox Parsec 32 oz crowler. Pours slightly hazy gold amber with a medium frothy white head that retains fairly well and laces the glass some. The aroma is tropical fruit and caramel malt with some piney hops. The flavor has a lot going on - sweet caramel malt, fruity resiny hops, with some burnt alcohol in the finish. The mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with low carbonation. Overall, a nice big DIPA. Sunday, May 3, 2020

bdleedahl	3.2 Equinox Black Hole Sun Super light but almost too thin of a body. A nice touch on their golden ale, just a touch of roast. Equinox Fort Collins Sunday, March 8, 2020
bdleedahl	3.4 Equinox Eclipse Brown Pretty decent brown. Light body, mostly clean. The nuttiness is there nicely. Equinox Fort Collins Sunday, March 8, 2020

phaleslu	3.4 Equinox Top 'O The Morning Sweet Stout Draft at the brewery, served in a flight. Pours a deep, dark brown with a finger of tan head that settles into a thick ring curving into a thin film in the center and leaving some trailing lace in the glass. Notes mild roasted and toasted malts, oats, caramel, brown sugar, and tobacco. Ligh-medium bodied, with modest carbonation and a smooth, sweet, roasty mouthfeel. Like their other beers, pretty one-note but not bad. Monday, September 16, 2019
phaleslu	3.6 Equinox Yuri's Russian Imperial Stout Draft at the brewery, served in a flight. Pours a deep, dark brown with a finger of tan head that settles into a thick ring and film, leaving a lasting thick cap atop the liquid and a sheet of lace in the glass. Notes of dark chocolate, earth, roasted malts, tobacco, and some bitterness in the form of florals or citrus zest. Medium-plus bodied, with moderate carbonation and a roasty, bitter mouthfeel. Old school simple imperial stout. Monday, September 16, 2019
phaleslu	3.4 Equinox Event Horizon Double IPA Draft at the brewery, served in a flight. Pours a cloudy copper with a finger of off-white head that settles into a lasting ring and thick film atop the liquid. Notes of sweet cereal malts, honey, straw, and a muddled fruit-floral thing. Medium-bodied, with moderate carbonation and a sweet, malty mouthfeel that hides the bitterness. Doesn't drink like either 9.4% ABV or 140 IBU, but it's kind of a one-note malt bomb. Monday, September 16, 2019
phaleslu	3.3 Equinox Zenith IPA Draft at the brewery, served in a flight. Pours a clear deep gold, almost copper with a small off-white head that settles into a lasting ring and bubbly film atop the liquid. Notes of pale malts, straw, grass, citrus zest, and dry pine needles. Light-bodied, with modest carbonation and a light, bitter mouthfeel. Not much to it. Very similar to Crazy Cliff. Seems to be a house character to the IPA/pale ale family. Monday, September 16, 2019
phaleslu	3.3 Equinox Crazy Cliff Rye IPA Draft at the brewery, served in a flight. Pours a just barely cloudy copper with a small off-white head that settles into a lasting ring and film atop the liquid.

Monday, September 16, 2019
phaleslu	3.7 Equinox Space Ghost American IPA Draft at The Emporium. Pours a clear bright gold with a moderate white head that settles into a ring and wispy film. Notes of lemon peel, some orange too, sweet and pale malts, florals, pineapple, and faint grass. Light-plus bodied, with moderate carbonation and a bitter, slightly sweet, but overall fairly clean mouthfeel. Good West Coast IPA. Wednesday, September 11, 2019
