During a lucid dream, the dreamer is awake, conscious of the space and environment around them. It’s almost a doorway into an alternative universe, one that we control. Creating this controllable fantasy began with Dream Wave Fluctuation, increasing the dry hop, blending Citra, Amarillo, Galaxy, and El Dorado, and applying Other Half's Dream treatment.
Lucid Dream Wave pours a hazy glowing tangerine color releasing aromas of passion fruit, pineapple, and candied peaches and cream all integrated with a juicy twist. The taste is loaded with EQ juice that blends with a bright creamy tropical wave of flavor with a touch of sweet that is dangerously drinkable and balanced.

Hit the nail on the head with this one! If you're looking for a high percentage easy hazy sipper this one is the one for you! With creamy, juicy tastes throughout each sip the tropical notes pop out more and more each sip! This one goes down wayyyyy too easy for a 8.5% abv beer! Loaded with pineapple and peaches mixed with the Citra hops, this one is light and juicy at the same time!

(2025 version collab with Other Half) Canned 11/25/25. Good, well balanced 2x NE ipa with nice mouthfeel; thickish haze; lower-to-medium hoppiness; a really subtle melony/floralish/grassy/earthy/hard-to-pin-down flavor & an incredibly clean, barely-there aftertaste. Very smooth for an 8.2%er.

Pours a very hazy gold with a thumb+ of eggshell colored head. Excellent head retention & lacing
S: Citrus & melons, a little tropical fruit as well, some peach late
T: Tangerine, green melon, passion fruit, some dryness up front. Pomelo, a little green melon & dryness once this beer is warmed up, a little orange grassyness too. Finishes a little dry, slightly acidic with lime & oranges
MF: Medium body, subdued carbonation, good balance, some acidic notes late.
Good drinkability, turns into a juicer as it gets warmer

Pours a hazy straw color with over a finger of head. The nose has notes of overripened tropical fruits. The flavor is toned down compared to the nose, some modest citrus notes upfront. The finish is decently bitter. This is a nice effort, but nothing to write home about.

16oz can from Tavour. Hazy golden pour, thin, silky white head, rings of lacing. Light citrusy aroma, orange, tangerine. Taste brings some huge tropical flavors, melon, mango, juicy with a sharp bitterness that also brings the heat. Seems like a sleeper at first, but taste really explodes. Nice mouth feel too.
