Mast Theory
Equilibrium Brewery

A: The beer is very hazy pale whitish yellow in color. It poured with a finger frothy high white head that died down a bit but never completely faded away.
S: Moderate aromas of lime are preset in the nose along with notes of melon.
T: The taste follows the smell and has additional bits of papaya. Only a slight amount of bitterness is perceptible.
M: It feels medium-bodied and a bit juicy on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: I found this beer to be quite easy to drink for an Imperial IPA as it hid any traces of alcohol very well.

Serving type: can

 

 

Appearance: Foam exploding out of the can upon opening.... Once settled, pours a nearly completely hazy (~10% clarity) deep and rich medium orange color with a massive head that took minutes to settle down. Sort of like a spoiled beer where the fermentation went bad. SRM of 8. (3.00)

Aroma: Expecting a spoiled or wild aroma. Not the case. Strong and juicy aromas of orange, orange mango, creamsicle, some green guava, papaya, and mango notes too. Tropical melon underneath. Lots of papaya and mango. (4.25)

Flavor: Flavor follows with more juicy orange and mango. There's papaya, some light green guava as well. Sweet pineapple underneath. finishes with more papaya and mango. A green component. (4.25)

Feel: Medium-bodied. Lower carbonation. Leans slightly sweet, but not overly so. Sort of watery and less creamy than I expected. (3.75)

Compared to Drekker Hater Blockers 8/6/22: Pours a slightly darker color, much larger head. Stronger aromas. More mango, creamsicle, papaya, melon, green guava. Less candied pineapple and astringent citrus and hop burn. Winner: Mast Theory.

Compared to Equilibrium Double Fractal Hilbert Curve 8/14/22: Pours a darker, hazier color. Larger head. Similar aromas. More mango. Less pineapple and bitter green citrus. Lighter-bodied. Larger carbonation and dryer.

Overall: What a ride of a beer. Pretty fresh about 1 month out. Yet this can nearly exploded upon opening. Once the foam settled I was expecting a spoiled beer. Not the case though. Nice orange, papaya, mango, with some green guava. I think something went wrong with it though. The mouthfeel wasn't quite right. I give the benefit of the doubt that something was off and that normally this beer is amazing. Will try it again. (Rating: 4.13+)

 

 

 

Pours a very cloudy, opaque golden yellow color with a thick foamy head. Head retention is good. Lacing is very good. Excellent aroma of juicy orange, pineapple and tropical undertones. NIce soft mouthfeel. The taste is the same as the aroma but with more tropical flavors at the with a hint of greenness. Medium bodied with mild to moderate carbonation. Very good beer!!
