Departures from Equilibrium are known as fluctuations. It pours a very hazy tangerine color, releasing bright tropical notes of passion fruit, mango, pineapple, and lychee with an undercurrent of sorbet and cream. Fluctuation tastes highly resinous and tropical with an assertive yet soft bitterness. We consider this fluctuation to be perfectly unbalanced.

Can shared at Lucky Bamboo share. Pours a hazy, juicy looking gold with a finger of white foam that lingers. Apricot, peach and mango aromas with some light dank pine notes. Thick and juicy palate with good tropical fruit notes throughout. Medium bitterness on the finish and abv hidden well.

(On tap @ Himmeriget, May 10/18) Pours almost opaque orange-gold with a white head. Notes of citrus peels, some grapefruit flesh, lots of fresh grass and leaves, earth, some peach and papaya, maybe berry skins or something, some malty/yeasty core to the hops, off-dry finishing quite dry and moderately bitter, with a bit of a mulchy dankness and some hop burn. Average body and carbonation. Solid, but I have to say I didn't love the hop profile for some reason. Equilibrium makes much better DIPAs.

Draught at Lulu's, 9/9/18.
Milkshake-like appearance, very soupy with a pale-hued golden-bronze color. White head atop is small and shows low retention.
Nice and juicy in the nose, with the strong yeast character present in Equilibrium's beers. Lots of mineral, fruity ester and moderate bubble gum, with light honey-vanilla and biscuit in the background, from the malt. No alcohol or flaw, nor any resin. Mostly pineapple-papaya-mango in the nose.
In the mouth it's again quite juicy and fruity, with a surprisingly light body. Though the texture is soft and supple, with plenty of malt. Gains a lot of somewhat twangy papaya-peach through the middle and ends on a heavy pine note, though it's not resinous. A bit disjointed with the flavors, carbonation and body. Or maybe it's just the strong pine and papaya that are jarring. Still pretty solid.

Tall can. Murky yellow/orange with a white head. Fruity hop aroma of pineapple, pine resin, other citrus and tropical fruits. The flavor is juicy fruit and a good hop bitterness. Not too sweet and quite drinkable.
