HDHC Dream Wave Fluctuation
Equilibrium Brewery

 

16oz can from Tavour. Orange golden hazy pour, one finger fluffy white head subsides to a small creamy cap. Fruity, citrusy aroma with traces of tropical and stone fruit. Taste favors the tropical fruit , stone fruit behind, and citrus provides a nice zing at the finish. Full bodied, creamy, juicy.

@WunderLlama sent this my direction during NBS BIF #16.

Pours the milky pale orange that's so en vogue right now. Lovely two fingers of rocky head that slowly settles, but never gets smaller than piles and drifts with beautiful lacing along the glass.

Nose is light with tropical fruits.

This one is quite flavoursome. Up front there's a decent amount tropical fruit... mango, a splash of key lime, and a creeping yeastiness. Finish has a blush of hop oil that leans towards the lime side of things, but doesn't go so sharp green as some and remains a nice balance. There's an almost powdered sugar sweetness alongside it there as well that contributes to the key lime yogurt impression.

Bright carbonation works well to cut the oily hops.

Thank you Maynard for sending this my way!!

Pours a very hazed gold with 3 fingers of rocky pearl colored head. Great lacing & above average head retention

S: Tons of Juice, hints of peach

T: Follows the nose, grapefruit, tangerine & a little sweet orange, just a touch of dryness & green melon as well. Acidic orange notes, a little dryness & passion fruit, along with some pink grapefruit. Finishes juicy with some sweet, &some tart

MF: Medium body, creamy carbonation, great balance

A juice monster, tons of citrus on parade here, so drinkable

 

Poured from pint can into proper pint glass.
A: Pours an extremely hazy dark orange hue with 1-2 inch frothy white head with good retention. Leaves nice lacing behind.
S: Passion fruit, tangerine, mango cream, key lime, dank orange, and a hint of pineapple. Fresh tropical fruit aromas!
T: Passion fruit and key lime pie hit first, quickly followed by mango cream, tangerine, dank orange, sweet pineapple juice, peach, and mint with melon. Wow! Super hop expression!
M: Medium body. Thick, juicy, and creamy feel. Soft lactose. Layers of tropical fruit sweetness. Lingers nicely on the palate.
D: Such an excellent example of style with superb hop expression. Seek it out!

Pours opaque cloudy orange/gold color with a 2-3 finger thick foamy eggshell colored that faded extremely slowly and left outstanding lacing coating the sides and thick foamy rings as it went down. It smells and tastes like a glass of orange juice mixed with a glass of pineapple juice, then poured over fresh cut lemons, grapefruit, tangerines, melon and tropical fruit with some coriander tossed in and then all stirred with dry salty biscuits. The flavor also unleashes tart bitter citrus notes like pink grapefruit and yuzu, with some bready notes as it fades with faint peppery spices. The dry hopping and HDHC make this feel like dry and wet hops are fighting for your tastebud's attention, but the mouthfeel is creamy smooth and the robust flavors completely mask the ABV. This is an outstanding IPA which was super easy to drink. Some collaborations are all hype, but this was a home run.
