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.

Draught, taster at Oslo Craft Beer Festival, blue session. Tiny white head leaving spotty lacing behind. hazy golden body. Pineapple and mango to a promising aroma. Soft fruity flavours, mango, peaches, and pineapple followed by a solid bittersweet fruity finish. Fine depth. Good drinking. (Rating no. 21700) (Oslo 07.05.2022).

Pours murky mango into a shaker. White head with excellent retention recedes leaving scant sheets. Mango and melon aromas. Soft with salt water, hot mango, melon and apricot upfront turning to tropical fruit peel and pith in the medium length finish.

Good white head, disappearing over fully hazy orangeish yellow beer. Bit of ureum, citrus, lupulin, sharp fruity esters. (More than a...) bit nutty, or kernel' flavours. Citrus/citruspeel notes, passion fruit, green mango. Some bite - both litteral and figurative. Medium to well-bodied. Good IPA!
