Fluctuation
Equilibrium Brewery

Pours a milky orange color with a 3F stiff head and heavy lacing.

Smells and tastes of resinous hops, Grapefruit and tangerine with a lightly bitter, boozy warm finish.

Medium light body and carbonation. Smooth mouthfeel.

This is an aromatic and delicious brew.

 

I'm usually in the solid "B" grade camp with this brewery, their beers often hitting a titular, "equilibrium" if you will. Neither bad nor excellent, they tend to sit in the good zone.

Now the appearance here, it was not attractive when poured into a Sierra Arts 2006 Brew Ha Ha pint glass. Quite the unattractive color and viscosity. An amberish, light brown dull swamp water experience. Thankfully, every other category of this beer was much better. The aroma hits a mango, pineapple, grapefruit, orange kind of fruit medley.

The mouthfeel has both the hazy body smoothness of a hazy ipa, but also a decent amount of hop burn and bitterness to keep it lively. EQ does a pretty good job at keeping the alcohol booziness from being a bother, 8% easy peezy. You think Pearl Jam has seen that Steven Flow wrestler? Its the usual reliable hoppy stuff from EQ at the end of the day, solidly reliable beers barely different from one another.

Poured from pint can into imperial pint glass.
A: Pours a very thick and hazy soft lemon yellow hue with generous 3 inch billowy/foamy white head with excellent retention.
S: Mango, lychee, pineapple, and a touch of soft lemon and cream.
T: Lychee, pineapple, and secondary notes of mango, tangerine, soft cream, and passion fruit.
M: Medium body. Very soft, creamy, and juicy feel. Tropical fruit sweetness. Lingers nicely on the palate.
D: An interesting hop combination with excellent expression. Lovely summer sipper.

 

 

This beer is a white-straw color, completely cloudy-milky, with a fantastically dense, lasting, and clingy white head. Citrus and grain in the aroma. Serious juice scents. The taste is more balanced than expected....I get a little tartness, mixed with some light malt qualities, continued fruit, some mild hop bitterness, and it dries out in the finish. Really nicely done. Medium-full in body and it conceals its ABV very well. Nice.

 

Copenhagen 5/11 2020. 47,3 cl can from Best of Beers web-shop. What looks like modelling clay infighting with Northern Lights on the can.

Pours opaque, dirty, brownish orange with a medium-sized white head. Settle as thin, almost transparent layer of foam struggling to cover the surface of the beer. Substantial lacing.

Aroma is fairly intense with a sweet, boozy sweet odor mingling with a notable hoppy, citric scent. Exotic fruit. Peach and papaya. Light decay peeking in. Citrus and grape fruit. Pine.

Light carbonation. Medium thick, oily, lightly tingling texture.

Flavor is intense with a medium strong sweetness followed by a slightly more moderate bitterness. Aftertaste is sweetish with a sharp bitter undertone. Lingers for a while. Finish is dry.

Not too heavy DIPA. Rich on flavor but a more subdued presence of alcohol. Enjoyable.

 

 

Cloudy , orange color. Medium-sized, white head. Mango and other tropical fruits in the aroma. Nicely balanced taste with pleasant hoppy bitterness.Good.

They changed the label but I think it's still the same. It's a Dipa on label doesn't say New England style. It looks great on pour. Not as hazy as most NEIPAs. Great looking head with lace and long lasting. Smells left quickly but the tropical notes were there. Easy drinking not overwhelming and leaves clean fresh palate. Mouthfeel is light, not sticky. Overall it has some unique qualities in flavor that stand out.

 

 

 

 

 

Served in a snifter glass from the can.

Appearance: Semi dark gold colored hazy brew with a white head which rose maybe half a finger's length off the body.

Smell: Leafy aroma with hints of banana skin. Super desirable but dissipates quickly from the nose.

Taste: Semi sweet taste with hints of caramel, pilsener malt and citrus juice.

Mouth: Medium body, bubbles are soft with a very sticky appealing after taste. Almost dessert like.

Overall: Had this beer so many time and totally forgot to review it. A Man among the boys. One of my favorites from Equilibrium. Always in a glass. Salud!

Darker than usual NEIPA, still pale, and thick looking. Smell is citrus and tropical. Taste is the same with some lasting note of resin. Feel is smooth and thick enough, with a little lasting bitterness. Good stuff
