4.24/5 rDev -3.6%
look: 4.5 | smell: 4.25 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4
A 1 pint can, with no canned on or best before date, but should be released on 20th October 2020. Poured into a Lost Abbey teku glass.
Appearance: A hazy orange yellow colour with a two finger white head that had good retention and left lots of nice lacing.
Aroma: Fruity, passion fruit, pineapple, peach, mango, grapefruit, lime, citrus rind and pith.
Taste: Juicy, melon, pineapple, papaya, peach, lightly bitter, grapefruit, lime, orange, with notes of grass.
Mouthfeel: Slightly creamy, medium bodied with moderate carbonation.
Overall: A nice and easy drinking NEDIPA, although the melon flavours were perhaps a little strong for me.

look: 4.25 | smell: 4 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4.75 | overall: 4.5
Growler into pint glass. Pours a cloudy amber with a coarse, fluffy, off=white head. Initial impression is in-your-face grapefruit, orange, mango, and caramel - lots going on here! Mouthfeel is fairly thick and very juicy - perfect for a DIPA. Alcohol is very well hidden. Finish is juicy and spicy. Excellent DIPA!

L-Grapefruit juice.....1 finger head that leaves thick lacing......hazy, juicy, cloudy
S-loaded with hops.......citrus, mostly grapefruit and lime, some passionfruit
T-hits the spot........very juicy and refreshing........strong notes of the aforementioned passionfruit........grapefruit is also up front......some pineapple sweetness to balance the citrus bitterness........lots of orange juice pulp
F- very drinkable....carb is spot on for the flavor........ABV is well hidden
O-wish I bought more than a 4 pack.....very good

4/5 rDev -9.1%
look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4
Released 4/7/18; drank 4/21/18 @ the Yarchives.
Opaque yellow/orange appearance.
A rough pour yielded a nice eggshell head; a thick curtain of tree-rung lace.
Pineapple, green apple, caramel & dry grass notes in the nose.
Creamy medium mouthfeel. Pineapple & cream flavors up front; dry grass & mild caramel notes in the nose. No booze heat.
A bit odd for the style; it's more complex if not as immediately satisfying. Good, not great.

Hazy golden orange color with full head. Heavy citrus nose with slight dankness. Very juicy and hoppy - mainly orange and apricote with light malty finish - well balanced. Very, very drinkable. Too drinkable? Love Equilibrium DIPAs.

16 oz can, purchased at the source yesterday...$20 for a 4 pack...canned 11-2-17
Pours the expected turbid and inviting shade of lighter yellowy/orangy. L uxorious and frothy off white cap, and leaving loads of fine sheeting all over the glass.
Fruity/yeasty/juicy nose
Complex and super tasty, with more juice/yeasty goodness...notes of oranges, banana custard, a hint of ginger and white pepper...delicious...go trade for some if ya can
