Pours a nice cloudy orange color with a nice staying white head. Smell is tropical with pineapple notes. Taste is very fruity with citrus and nice tropical notes of pineapple followed by mango and some melon. A soft mouth feel one of the best things about this 2IPA So very nice, with ABV well hidden.

A bunch of this just dropped in MN, but no canning date to be seen. For shame, Equilibrium. 16 oz. can presumed fresh.
The pour is like a thick pumpkin puree with mild, spotty head. Noses up strong, aggressive melon, mango, & plenty of other fruitiness below the surface. Sweet.
The Middletown Project is no IPA. It’s a slurry that I believe I could walk across. Quicksand thick, fruit suffuses the palate, led again by sweet melon, mango, cantaloupe, & a healthy breeze across the local farmer’s market in the fall. Ripe sweetness is barely offset enough by a distant flash of bitterness. Sixteen ounces of sweetness is too much.
Not quite enough to offset the typical raw sugar sweetness of a NE IPA, but the fruit carries this into the realm of ‘good’.

Can. White head. Lace. Hazy sunset orange color.
Lots of mango, melon rind, lemon zest, and honeydew. A very unique blend of hops. Earthy with a bit herbal characteristics.
Very unique ipa. I loved the mango flavor.

Small 32oz growler. Pours a very hazy pale peach with dense creamy head. Nose is jackfruit and durian with a little way overripe mango. Taste is juicy tropical, but also a bit dank. More mango as you get further into the beer. Avoids going over to onion/garlic territory. Pretty damn good beer. Only gripe is the extremely high pricing.

Beer 1000 for me! On tap at Churchkey. Hazy straw yellow appearance. Not quite opaque. Minor floral and citrus notes. Taste is tropical. Very nice. The shining star of the beer is soft pillow mouthful. Getting a bit of malt at the end. Overall very nice beer.

Tall can, w/o canning date info to be had.
Lovely looking hazed up NEIPA pour.
Pungent tropical sniff, with mango, and ripe pineapple abounding.
Delicious stuff, more world class brew from EQ...soft and smooth, with more tropical fruit juiciness all over this one...Notes of mango, kiwi, pineapple...love the EQ brews and this one does not disappoint. Go get some.
