Pours a milky light orange with a 1F head and heavy lacing.
Smells of floral and piney hops with lightly dank citrus.
Tastes of lightly tart grapefruit, lemon, tangy wheat and honeydew with a spicy, salty finish.
Medium body and light carbonation. Smooth, crisp and dry mouthfeel.
This is a very tasty, complex and balanced brew where the sweet bits hang above and contrast the bitter ones .

All other reviews for this DIPA rae good, I just don't get it. Either it's not my day to enjoy IPAs or this is just not the beer for me, cus it was mediocre on all points for me. Canned in April 2025.

This is a sexy light golden ale with a light white fluffy head that's very airy and billowy. Lots of lacing and lots of carbonation too. The body is murky and just gorgeous to look at...And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you...
Mild stale grapefruit action in he nose mixed in with lemon zest, wheat grass and an overall summery smell.
The flavor is just awesome, IMO, strong hops and grapefruit upfront, cloves and spices mixed in, makes me want to eat bavette.
The mouthfeel is awesome for me, dry, crisp but has a kick,
Overall, a very good representation for this style, do not pass it up.

One of the rare instances in my experience where a collaboration beer is greater than the sum of the parts. So often, collab beers are muddled, not this one.

Tall can poured into a tulip, beer is a very pale yellow, almost orangish color. The head is thick and frothy, leaving plenty of lacing. The fruit smell is rather pungent - I can detect it from several feet away. It's like a fruit cocktail with hops blended in; the orange is prevalent, but there's also notes of tangerine, mango, pineapple, and more. Yet the taste is more bitter grapefruit up front. I get the orange juice with more sips, but it's very grapefruit to me. There's a heavier sweetness than expected, but it's still a soft, fluffy one, full-bodied, a little grassy, a little bready, creamy to finish.
Not my favorite, but I had to try a collab between these two.

Poured into a Trillium glass a very nice cloudy yellow color, very nice carbonation, with a very nice thick/creamy one-finger plus off-white head, which also leaves some pretty nice creamy sticky lacing behind. The nose is hoppy, malty, with a very nice citrus complex (oranges, tangerines, pineapple, grapefruit, nectarines, guava, peach, apricot, mango, papaya), with some very nice diesel like. The taste is very nice, hoppy, malty, with a very nice citrus complex (oranges, tangerines, grapefruit, pineapple, nectarines, guava, peach, apricot, mango, papaya), 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!

Served in an oversized, stemless, wine glass
This beer pours a drab orange color and is turbid. It is topped with a mountain of beige head that leaves rocky lacing.
I get a nice tropical fruit aroma with some oranges as well.
Really nice tropical flavors upfront. I get some citrus with a focus on oranges later on.
Full bodied with a creamy mouthfeel
Pretty darn tasty beer. I'm glad Equilibrium took some brewing lessons from Masthead. It definitely helped their product.

I got a can of this beer off the single shelf from my local beer store located just around the corner. It poured a smoothie hazy golden with white head that is leaving some lace. The scent had dank tropical fruit peel notes. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with semi sweet malt base and dank ripe tropical fruit presence. The mouthfeel was medium in body and had good carbonation. Overall it is a solid beer.

Awesome nose, terrible finish and everything is just ok. EQ sets a high standard and this is sub par for them
