We are thrilled with Dream Wave Fluctuation. We revisited the Wave treatment with one of our favorite beers by paying tribute to the other side of the MC² relationship with energy. Energy Wave takes the MC² grain bill, increases the hops, and adds a touch of lactose. Energy Wave pours a glowing hazy tangerine color, releasing bright tropical notes of mango, pineapple, lactose, and apricot. Energy Wave tastes like a succulent wave of creamy mango juice with a touch of sweet that is dangerously drinkable and balanced.

Pour thick hazy orange
Big grapefruit smell with hints of pine and a trace of sulfur
Sweet, very malt forward, reminiscent of like herb-y grapefruit juice mixed with mango juice without the usual acidity
Full bodied, a bit grainy but excellent

A: The beer is very hazy to cloudy pale yellow in color. It poured with a half finger high white head that left a short head covering the surface and lots of lacing down the sides of the glass.
S: Light to moderate aromas of apricot and pineapples are present in the nose.
T: The taste follows the smell and has additional hints of mangos; the apricots are most noticeable towards the finish. Little to no bitterness is perceptible.
M: It feels medium-bodied, juicy and a bit smooth on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This beer drinks quite well considering its strength and has a nice dose of hops in the smell and taste.
Serving type: can

The pale yellow can presents a thin cap of soapy-looking foam and an aroma of citrus and tropical fruits.
The flavor is full with orange and mango most prominent. Some grapefruit and spruce persist in the finish.
The body is thin.
This is a superb brew.

Poured from pint can into shaker pint glass.
A: Pours a slightly hazy and moderately dark lemon yellow hue with 1/2 inch bubbly white head good retention.
S: Soft grapefruit, dank pineapple, and hints of lime and mango.
T: Mango cream, dank peach, soft grapefruit and pineapple, and hints of lime and lemon.
M: Light body. Creamy feel. Moderately bitter and funky. Soft citrus sweetness.
D: Decent brew, but definitely not worth the steep price. Equilibrium has several better brews.
