ACE OF EQUINOX Download BeerXML
THIS BEER IS
We love hops. We adore and worship their profile ability to transform beer. You could say that we have a terminal addiction. To celebrate this fetish we’re heroing our favourites in single hopped limited releases. No also starring, no extras, no compromise. The Hop is the Hero.
A biscuity malty backbone builds to intense tropical fruit, with bitter resin notes, culminating with an explosive papya hit and a long bitter finish.
Our Ace in the hole, devastatingly singular, deliciously bitter. Serving up an Ace each and every time.

BREWER'S TIP
If you are struggling with the malt hop balance, try upping the speciality malt a little bit until you hit your sweet spot.
