What would the Aurora Borealis look like with a starry marshmallow sky? Would Fluctuation taste good with Marshmallow? Head down the path of unknown as we look for answers, we promise it will be fun!

Fluffuation is another departure from Equilibrium. It takes our DIPA, Fluctuation, and adds a balanced helping of Marshmallow. Pouring a very hazy tangerine color, it has notes of passion fruit, mango, and pineapple dipped in vanilla frosting. Not overly sweet, the kiss of marshmallow adds a touch of melted ice cream element to our favorite fruit classic. A drippy creamsicle like texture and marshmallow sky await.

Another IPA from Equilibrium and another marshmallow one. Fluffuation is highly focused on the grassy side of the IPA while just adding a touch of sweetness. It has the patented Eq fluffiness and packs quite the hop punch. Perfect beer for a traditional IPA enthusiast looking for something a bit different

16 ouncer...canned 9/2/2020

Typical EQ NEIPA milk shake kinda pour, hazed and leaving a healthy load of fine bubble sheeting.

Sweet, sugary marshmallow coming thru on the sniff, along with ripe tropical fruits.

Complex, flavorful and interesting concoction....again I'm getting the marshmallow notes, along with bright pineapple, mango and lime. Tasty and pretty darn delicious in an unusual way....

Well crafted and well worth seeking out and trying.

One is greeted with prominent marshmallow on the nose, and the marshmallow note comes bounding in immediately upon tasting, but quickly exits The stage for a decent, full
Bodied and somewhat sweet New England style DIPA. It’s kind of an odd juxtaposition for me and I’m left asking...why? Kind of cool to taste marshmallow so clearly in a beer, for a moment, but then it’s fine and it’s citrusy and a little dank and ends with a moderate bitter note and it just doesn’t end up hanging together all that well for me. Worth a try on a single but 16oz is enough for me.

The addition of marshmallow makes this extremely sweet, almost like a liquid creamsicle in a glass. Canned on 09/02/2020. Enjoyed on 09/27/2020.
