A Note on This Beer

Sparking electricity, bubbling beakers, and maniacal laughter. That’s how I picture the brewhouse at New York’s Equilibrium Brewery.  

Of course, it’s not like that at all — their taproom space is rustic and warm, like a cozy cabin in the woods. But, co-founder and head brewer Pete Oates can still act like a mad scientist when he brings a new batch of this soft-bodied, tropically fruity MC2 DIPA to life! 

After all, he is an actual scientist. He has a Ph.D. from MIT to prove it, too. 

Before releasing his first brew to the public back in 2017, Pete spent years as an engineer, working to bring clean water to folks all over the world. When he finally turned his big brain and vast knowledge to brewing, magic happened — although Pete would call it science. Top secret science, because he won’t give up the recipe for this 97/100 BA-rated fan favorite! 

I can tell you this, though: it tastes like Pete and his team took some space-age hybrid of grapefruit and tangerine and blended it with pineapple, mango, and a dollop of passionfruit. In short, it’s so tropically delicious you might want to sip it from a coconut shell. 

“A great example of a NEIPA style DIPA!” –The Beer Connoisseur

I’ve had this before and this batch was the best yet. So well balanced. With so many of the hazy’s these days having little to no bitterness. This is well done

An instant reminder of why an IPA is an IPA with great notes of herby, woody grains, it finishes off nice with a crisp sharp note of hops and with an 8% the second one taste better

Pretty good flavor with little sips then with bigger drinks you get the tingles followed by a smooth after taste. One of the better IPA’s I’ve had and I don’t like IPA’s.

The pour on this beer lends to a nice hazy juicebomb. The aroma imparts tropical notes and fresh hops. The initial taste is tropical pineapple, tangerine, and grapefruit with underlying dank hops. This IPA is deliciously smooth and well balanced. The mouth feel is moderate thick yet very drinkable at 8%abv.
