Tachyon is a theoretical particle that’s a bit more than a Photon. To turn theoretical physics into reality, we took Photon and upped the ABV to 5.5% and hopped it at the rate of the fractal series, resulting in an intensely hopped but low ABV crushable American Pale Ale. It pours a very hazy orange, releasing well-blended notes of dank apricot, tangerine, peach, mango, and pineapple. It tastes of soft juicy tropical fruits and hop resins. A smooth pointed bitterness with a touch of dryness ensures you’re ready for the next sip. This drinking experience is further enhanced with a soft and billowy mouth-feel that has made this the go to ale for the Equilibrium crew, especially when gearing up for a holiday weekend.

Reviewed from notes.
Can to becher glass.
Appearance: dark burnt orange to almost brown color with a two and a half fingers of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: tangerine to apricot/peachy, lemon and a touch of pineapple-ish hop tones; light clean malts
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a sweet to bittersweet sort of quality: finishes mostly with the tangerine and apricot/peachy hop tones, slightly dry
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable; some smoothness along the tongue; nice low carb, low hop bitterness assertiveness
Overall: nicely done NEPA for the most part.

Pours a hazy, pineapple-orange, with massive, billowing head (at least in my case--refrigerator might be set a bit cold and it's almost 100 degrees outside today). Aroma has some citrus and tropical fruit elements, along with cracker and biscuit and some pepper. Flavor is primarily citrus fruit, with some pine/spruce hoppiness, and a touch of pepper. Bitter finish.
