Astro Fluff takes one of our latest tropical fruit forward IPA’s and adds astronomical addition of Marshmallow. Pouring like a glass of hoppy haze milk custard, you’ll instantly get pleasant whiffs of tropical fruit salad topped with marshmallow fluff and Grandma’s peaches and cream. Big flavors of passionfruit, fresh squeezed OJ, mango sorbet, and melted orange vanilla creamsicles transform into a luscious mouthfeel leading into a Big Bang of rainbow melon and our #EQjuice finish.

Astro Fluff pours a hazy bright yellow with a small but long-lasting lacing head. The aroma has a nice sweetness and hints of sweet marshmallows. The flavor has a nice sweet, creamy base, hinted orange and fluff, with a slightly bitter finish. Good feel. Overall, it's good, it's a little off with the creamy sweetness and then bitter, but it is different and still fun.

Poured from 16 oz can into my Natural 20 tulip. No date on the can that I can see.
Appearance: pale yellow hue with a moderate haze and a thick finger of frothy ivory foam atop.
Smell: yup, those are marshmallows all right! Marshmallows and a general sweetness at first, followed by notes of passionfruit and pineapple. Not bad, per se, but not really for me.
Taste: sweetness, marshmallow, and an earthy dankness that just isn’t my jam. Dunno if it’s the can’s age, or just that this beer does not work particularly well for me. The more I sip it, the less convinced I am that I like it. The bitterness and marshmallow flavor fight each other rather than complement each other … yeah, just not doing it for me.
Mouthfeel: medium body with a decent carbonation and creaminess.
Overall: I mean, I usually quite enjoy beers from Equilibrium. But I don’t think I can finish this.

Pours a very hazed gold with plenty of floaties, on e finger of Ivory colored head. Great head retention & lacing
Marshmallow, grassyness
T: Pomelo, vanilla, grapefruit
MF: Medium body, fairly lively carbonation, hints of cinnamon, WTH? Dryness most likely from lactose, lime, pomelo & marshmallow as this beer warms. Finishes with hints of pineapple whip, but not enough to save it, more off putting cinnamon, plus dryness & bitter citrus
Sort of a disjointed mess. I usually love these; this; not so much. I can drink this, but not a fan

My first thought is WTF, my IPA smells and tastes like marshmallows. So that’s why it’s called Astro Fluff. Pretty strange, but I did it. Strong citrus fruit flavors with a peach and orange dominated profile, with hints of mango, and melon, but in addition there is this marshmallow vanilla creamsicle sorbet thing going on. Dry finish, honestly too dry. Cool beer, notable for the pillowy marshmallow and vanilla but also because of the exceptional choice of pairing with the right hops.
