Kinetics starts off with a huge base flaked oats and wheat before an enormous whirlpool and dry hop of Citra.

Pouring opaque bright yellow, aromas and flavors of melons ran through a juicer, orange tang, mandarin orange slices, mango sorbet, ripe cantaloupe, lychee, and limes. This beer has a beautiful hop tang that builds up into an explosive rainbow melon #EQjuice profile before finishing off creamy with a touch of bitterness getting you ready for the next sip. This beer is very special to us and in our opinion hard to put down.

From Beer Drop. No on the can.

Pours a hazy dark yellow with a good head of foam, some good lacing.

Smells of grapefruit, tropical fruit, definitely on the bitter side. Hazy yet bitter. Nice.

Taste has a nice grapefruit bitterness, some tropical fruitiness, hints of melon, smidgen of onions.

Good, kind of juicy mouthfeel, a good Double IPA.

They can fuss with grain and cereal combination, they can trial-and-error all they want, but in the end, there's a basic, down-to-earth hazy IPA recipe that simply works. And for Equilibrium Brewing is all kinetics.

And so Kintetics pours with a classic milky amber gold while building a plush and creamy ivory froth. With the classic scent of Citra hops rolling from the rim, the citronella-laden scent of citrus, tropical, herbal and pungent spices all carry a starburst of tangerine. Creamy, smooth and cereal-sweet to the early palate, its introduction of malt sweetness carry a shortbread, honey and cereal tone.

Then the hops blossom on the middle palate to make anything malt or cereal a distant memory. Mandarin orange, valencia varieties, blood orange and branch-ripe tangerines burst onto the flavor scene while a background taste of mango, lime, passionfruit and pineapple bridge into a citrus and tropical medley. Wrapped in those lasting creamy malts, and a juiciness of cantaloup rounds out the late taste before a strikingly herbal, botanical and hemp-like bitterness arrive.

Medium-full and creamy throughout, the beer's plump upstart gives way to a drying, spicy and balancing bitterness to finish. Refreshing, full flavored and highly drinkable, the beer trends off-dry and just shy of clean in favor of a linger of fruit and cream to extend onward.

Fours deep orange with a white frothy head. Lacing is beautiful. Nose is very citrusy. Taste is not overwhelming but delicious nonetheless

Can dated 8/10/21 into pint glass. Pours a very hazy gold with a persistent off-white head. Initial impression is juicy pineapple, mango, and melon. A slight dankness, too. Mouthfeel is fairly thick and juicy. Finish fades to a slight bitterness. Overall, a good but not remarkable DIPA from Equilibrium. I paid $6.00 for a can, and I'm pretty sure I wouldn't do that again.
