Fractal Galaxy
Equilibrium Brewery

Pours a hazy, light-orange gold with a solid finger of rocky head that dissipates to a thin ring with some lacing. Aroma of pineapple and citrus. Taste follows nose. Full-bodied.

 

 

 

Appearance: Pours a completely hazy (5% clarity), medium golden-yellow color with a strong and creamy white head. SRM of 7. (4.00

Aroma: Strong and creamy aromas of peach and stonefruit upfront. There is pineapple and orange citrus to support. Mostly peach, pineapple in second, and some orange rind off the end. (4.00)

Flavor: Strong flavors of orange citrus, stonefruit, and some tart pineapple toward the end. Rich orange and stonefruit, but also finishes with some tart pineapple too. (4.00)

Feel: Light to medium bodied. Strong carbonation and tart pineapple give it a zing. Finish is somewhat tart, but clean. Still reasonable softness here. (4.00)

Compared to Modist Brewing Dreamyard 5/8/22: Pours a lighter color. Stronger aromas. More peach and orange citrus. Less stonefruit and oats. More fruity overall.

Overall: A pretty good Galaxy IPA. It definitely has the pineapple and passionfruit flavors. Juicy, with some tartness off the end. Almost like biting into a too tart of a pineapple. Still not bitter and finishes soft enough on the palate to make it pleasantly drinkable. (Rating: Lost the numerical rating due to being deleted.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Pours a hazy golden straw color with decent head and lacing. Smell is herbal and dank with geared earthy hop note. Taste has berries ,citrus ,melon. Mouth feel is more dry than sweet and has a herbal note in finish that i did not care for

 

 

Another purchase from the government economic small business shutdown days.

Pours a lightly hazy dull beige yellow appearance with 3/5" white head in April '21. The aroma hits some usual Galaxy hop descriptors (pineapple), taking on some guava then Citra/citrus like notes as well. The label design tries to trick your mind into thinking pomegranate. Its not the strongest hop aroma but it'll get you there.

Taste is decent, a little bit of that popsicle stick wood to it that wasn't expected. Better that than a hefty caramel and wood presence in those heavy crystal malt ipas. The label commercial tug job claims simple and complex at the same time, I dunno what is complex about this beer though. Still getting mostly a guava, pineapple and mild orange vibe throughout the entire drinking experience. Its a pretty simple Galaxy ipa for better and for worse. The body has a light trubby feel but nothing too problematic. Liked, didn't love it.

 

 

 

Loving that my local distributor (Spaz) is carrying a decent variety of Equlibrium. Spares me the shipping cost!

L: Hazy golden hue.

S: Virtually nothing on the nose.

T: Bitter tartness. Not much in the way
of complexity.

F: A little thin. Somewhat smooth.


O: Not a bad IPA but does not live up to the high expectations I’ve come to expect from Equlibrium.
