Cool. Where did you hear that, as googled it, and couldn't find anything, although this thread did show as no 10 on Google search.

I follow Nathan from the Brewing Network on twitter. He posted about it:

"So, how about Equinox/HBC 366 ? my amateur notes grapefruit zest, blackberry, strawberry, low ripe melon and bing cherry.  big complexity"

Salivating over that description, and can't wait to get a brew on.

Actually got this last night. Very very piney/grassy.. so much so initially it almost bordered on car fragrance/cat piss!! after a couple of sups it mellowed or I got accustomed but it was very nice, great bitterness, some of those fruit flavours described below coming through particularly the blackberry.

i was going to pick it up, but for €18 for a 4 X330ml selection pack i said I'd pass.
Feck it. mine will be nicer anyway. brewdog usually go overboard

Well they are 7.1% abv... And while also being informative they were really delicious and enjoyable beers. The other two I had, Amarillo and Kohatu were great too. Kohatu could defo stand on it's own as a single hop but the Amarillo was missing that aroma punch. They were both quite contrasting. Looking forward to having the comet one tonight.

Right lads, the Dublin hops are currently in Tipp, and should be making their way to Dublin at some point. there was a bit of confusion in relation to handover at the Easterfest, so that's why things have been delayed a bit, so apologies for that.

The Galway hops were passed to Independant brewing, so can the Galway lads link up and confirm when ye get them.

Hopefully everyone will have their hops soon enough.

Dublin hops went from the cold room in the Well, to the cold room in Gypsy. I'm in Dublin on Monday 9am ish until Tuesday afternoon if we can try and arrange one of the Dublin lads to pick them up from me?

Cheers Dec.

I could pick them up from you Declan on Monday evening if that suited?
