Gorgeous appearance. The hazy, canary yellow body was topped by a tight, creamy, two-finger tall mass of bubbly foam. The head slowly dropped to a lasting cap. Sheets of lacing coated the glass and stuck until the drink’s end.

The nose was really interesting and complex with big tropical fruit notes. Passionfruit was most prominent. Mango also came through strong. There was a punchy ripe pineapple presence too. As the beer sat, a subtle, dank weed-like note appeared.

The flavor profile was also solid though not as impressive as the nose. Citrus dominated here. Loads of tangerine. Juicy orange and orange peel notes were also apparent. Some white grapefruit came through as the beer moved along the palate. Grapefruit rind-like notes rounded things out in the moderately pithy and bitter finish.

Excellent soft, fluffy mouthfeel. Lighter bodied for the style. The liquid contained a super fine, moderate, tongue blanketing effervescence.

I have been impressed by nearly all of Equilibrium IPAs, and this was definitely another winner. The nose on this was fantastic and, like so many of their other hoppy beers, the flavor profile was intense but not heavy on the palate.

 

Pours a hazed light golden color with great head and lacing. Smell is sprites tropical with citrus ,lemon/lime and berries. Taste is floralloads of citrus some herbal berries. Mouth is crisp with hops its fruity more than dry very tropical sweet and delicious, ABV well hidden.
