Equilibrium x Other Half Space Dream Lab

Leave a comment

Brewery: Equilibrium Brewery x Other Half Brewing
Country: USA
ABV: 8%
Style: New England / Hazy Double IPA
Other Notes: Hops – Galaxy and Citra

Brewer Description: (from website) Our Biggest Dry Hop. Ever. Period. The next beer in our perpetual Dream Lab series with Other Half is here and it is absolutely galactic. Space Dream Lab starts off with a base of wheat and oats and a whirlpool of Galaxy and Citra before an absolutely absurd amount of out just delivered 2020 Galaxy and Citra went in for the dry hop. If you saw our post last Friday, we literally filled our fermenter to the tippy top with hops, something crazy we could only do with the team from Brooklyn. Space Dream Lab pours like straight yellow Milk with explosive notes of passionfruit, Groove stand OJ, and sticky hops. The flavor is island fruits, orange creamsicle, pineapple in heavy syrup, mango and papaya wrapped up with dank hop profile. It’s milky and creamy finish is loaded up with our #EQjuice making it near crushable. A beer fit for the stars.

My ratebeer.com rating: 3.8

Intro: A 440ml can, canned on 15th October 2020, with a best before date of 15th July 2021. Poured into a Lost Abbey teku glass.
Appearance: A hazy milky gold colour with a just over one finger white head that dissipated fairly quickly but left some sparse lacing.
Aroma: Fruity creamsicle, pineapple, mango, melon, citrus rind, orange.
Taste: Sweet beginning, melon, pineapple, mango, bitter finish, citrus rind and pith.
Mouthfeel: Creamy, medium bodied, with soft carbonation.
Overall: Loved the aroma, but flavourwise, it’s sweeter than I prefer it to be. The bitterness on the finish does help tone down the sweetness a bit, but not enough for me to want to drink it everyday.

Intro: A 440ml can with a best before date of 2nd July 2021. Poured into a Lost Abbey teku glass.
Appearance: A hazy orange colour with an almost two finger white head that had good retention and left lots of lacing.
Aroma: Orange, citrus zest, peach, mango, with notes of pine resin.
Taste: Tropical fruit sweetness, mango, peach, honeydew melon, lightly bitter, orange zest, citrus rind, with a lasting bittersweet finish.
Mouthfeel: Medium to full bodied with moderate carbonation.
Overall: Good fruit aroma and flavours, but despite there being some bitter notes, the sweetness cuts through it easily, and it was perhaps a little too sweet for me in the end.

Heroes KUPZZY In Time Hazy DIPA

Leave a comment

Brewery: Heroes Beer Co.
Country: Hong Kong
ABV: 7.8%
Style: New England / Hazy Double IPA
Other Notes: The sky diving golden phoenix

Brewer Description: (from can) Kupzzy the phoenix was born with unparalleled vision, which she used to lead her followers through rains and storms. But the sky is getting darker than ever as a dark force is bringing in unprecedented cyclones and thunder. The only clear path she sees leads her flock into a terrifying cluster of black holes.

Time is pressed and forward is the only way through if they don’t want to get wiped out by the storm. She takes the lead, and dives into the black hole, only with hope that there is a bright warm sun waiting for them at the other end.

In Time Hazy DIPA is a beer you should dive into right away. Intense aromas of limes, grapefruits, mangoes, and papaya with hints of coconuts. Hazy but smooth and juicy on the palate. Just like a glass of fresh squeezed juice, drink it fresh and drink it in time.
