Think of a galaxy forward Fluctuation plus Other Half's Dream treatment. A fluctuation from beta brain waves to alpha and theta waves shifts your consciousness from alertness, cognition, and concentration to a dream state of relaxation, visualization, creativity, intuition, and vivid visual imagery. Sam from Other Half came up to brew with us and we discussed potential synergies between our two heavily hopped styles. We ended up taking EQs fluctuation grain bill and adding oats and (for the first time in EQ commercial application) lactose in-line with Other Half’s Dream treatment. This beer was followed by an aggressive dry hop of Galaxy and Citra.

16 ounce can from Matt S. Murky yellow gold pour. Rocky white head. Stellar lacing. Aroma of dank citrus and pine. Flavor is sweet and creamy. Pithy notes of lemon and lime. Added notes of pineapple, passion fruit and mango. Finishes with a touch of sticky pine.

Flight.
Poured light yellow in color.
Creamy looks. Juicy with good body, red grapefruit, light bitterness. Good drinkability. Milshake IPA? Fortunately did not feel like that, but was indeed on the sweeter side for me, but not in a lactose sweetness kind of way.

Can picked up from Kihoskh and drunk at home (10/09/2023) - Juicy fruity aroma and taste with lots of mango and papaya, passionfruit, citrus tangerine and grapefruit, medium body, robust hoppy close. Very nice.

aroma of exotic fruits and hops, somewhat mild, full bodied mild malty note.faint sour socks note, all in all a bit messy in the aroma. 6 Flavor is very bitter jucy hoppy and very bitter hoppy, full bodied bitterhoppy, malts are creating a good base for all the hop bitterness, but hop bitterness totally takes over and you soon forget the malts. There is a very faint floewry or citrus fruity note that Icould do without 7

Draft at Paragon, 6/29/23. Hazy yellowish-orange, white head, plenty of lace. Juicy and fairly sweet. Peach, mango, papaya. Sweet, not much bitterness. Mild alcohol burn. Decent mouthfeel, slightly sticky. Pretty good overall, but definitely a one glasser for me, too sweet and too hot to drink a bunch in a row.
