Cold Fusion
Equilibrium Brewery

 

Gotta say, I'm kind of shocked more brewers haven't picked Cold Fusion as a name.

Pours hazy yellow with a rocky and retentive head.

Smells contemporary: nothing but the hop profile with lots of mango and citrus. Nice, but somewhat one-dimensional.

Tastes like it smells: straightforward, fruity, and nice. Mangos up front, more generic citrus in the middle, and then some pineapple juice on the back end.

 

 

fantastic--reminiscent of early pre-expansion treehouse, a la curiosity 12...

 

very good dipa
solid fresh taste with a decent mouthfeel. on tap at the source.

Reviewed on its release date. Poured from 16 oz. can into an Equilibrium snulip glass. It pours an opaque, dirty gold color with a creamy, milk-white cap and thin sheen of lacing inside the glass. On the nose there is lemon, onion, tangerine, melon, and fragrant hops. This is a dank ale whose taste opens with tangerine, tart lemon, tropical fruit, onion, pine, and flavorful Cryo hops that provide only minimal bitterness. It finishes slightly sour. As expected, the taste is very similar to mc² except there is less tropical fruit sweetness. It has a creamy, viscous mouth feel with a pleasant level of carbonation and it drinks below its 8% ABV. Overall, Cold Fusion is a typically fine DIPA from Equilibrium although I prefer mc² for its fruity sweetness.
