Collaboration with Parish Brewing Co.

Using a mashed up grain bill from Straight Outta The Laboratory and Ghost in The Machine, we used a massive dose of CO2 extract, Citra Incognito, and our hand selected Citra T-90s on the hotside followed by an insane amount of Citra LUPOMAX and our hand selected Citra T-90s for the Double Dry Hop; the heaviest dry-hop in Equilibrium’s history.

Ghost In The Laboratory pours opaque and vivid yellow and has very strong aromas of extreme mango supported by tropical nectar. The flavor is explosive with extremely saturated notes of mango smoothie, Grovestand Orange Juice with plenty of pulp, orange tang, tropical fruit cup in syrup, dank grass, and a rainbow melon creamsicle note from our #EQjuice finish.

poured from a 16oz can into a snifter. pours a milky, hazy orange with a finger of fluffy white head. citrus on the nose with some dank and pine. taste follows with as much dank and pine as it is pithy citrus. a soft, full mouthfeel with a smooth finish. zero alcohol to it. so easy drinking. not as much orange as i originally thought. lots of aromas and tastes i might associate with galaxy and citra combined. still, a very nice collab DIPA from two of the best in the game.

16oz can from Tavour. Hazy orange pour, thick, fluffy, white head. Fruity aroma, citrus, stone fruit. Taste is fruity, sweet, juicy with notes of tangerine, peach. Creamy feel, thick, meaty. Highly enjoyable.

16 FL. OZ can
Served in an oversized, stemless wine glass

This beer pours a grayish yellow color. It is topped with a couple inches of creamy, dirty white head that leaves spotty lacing.

Medicinal smell with some citrus

Medicinal and citrus flavor. Grapefruit

Medium bodied with an effervescent mouthfeel

Decent IPA. I was hoping for better considering the collaborating breweries.

16 oz. Can

Poured into a Tree House glass a very nice cloudy pale yellow color, very nice carbonation, with a very nice thick/creamy two-finger white head, which also leaves some pretty nice creamy sticky lacing behind. The nose is hoppy, malty, with a pretty nice citrus complex (oranges, tangerines, pineapple, grapefruit, apricots, nectarines, peach, guava, mango), pretty nice diesel like. The taste is very nice, hoppy, malty, with a very nice citrus complex (oranges, tangerines, grapefruit, pineapple, apricots, nectarines, peach, guava, mango), a nice little sweetness, very nice diesel like. Medium body, ABV hidden very well, with a nice dry/bitter finish. Overall, this is a very tasty beer. MilkShake! Orange Julius! Addictive!

Pours a very cloudy, opaque golden color with a finger width foamy head. Head retention is very good. Lacing is excellent. Does have a juicy mango and melon aroma. Very juicy mango surprise with melon and some orange citrus. Medium to heavy bodied with mild to moderate carbonation. This one is da bomb!

This was good, but didn’t meet my expectations. This is a local brewery, and love a bunch of their stuff. This beer is a legendary beer. I’m sure it’s amazing on tap, but I haven’t had the opportunity to try it yet. Looks like their was a bad batch that went around with a bunch of particulate. Last batch I had was citrusy and dank? Wasn’t amazing

It was super hoppy, almost like the hop resin was squeezed out of the buds and into the glass. It was very cloudy looking, smelled and tasted like grapefruit, sour orange juice, lemon, melon, tropical fruit, wet hops, biscuit, yeast, a lot of herbal notes and heavy floral notes. It was viscous and each sip felt like there was chunks from the bottom of the can on my tongue. It was good but not as smooth as most beers by Equilibrium.

Got a four pack of this beer this past weekend during a day trip to Austin. The people at the beer shop were very nice!

Poured from a can into a tulip glass. Bright hazy yellow color with creamy off white head and good curtain lacing. Bright citrus and tropical fruit smell and taste. Pineapple, orange and lime. Was expecting a bit fuller, smoother feel.nice hoppy finish. I really want to have this beer on tap.
