About This Beer

I don’t know what kind of mad science MIT grad Pete Oates and the EQ crew used to craft today’s juicebomb. It’s called Fluctuation, so maybe they used a flux capacitor…?

Tasting Notes

Bright bursts of juicy mandarin, drippy pineapple, and candied mango surge through every sip like Marty McFly clinging to the back of a truck on a skateboard. Creamy cascades of sorbet chase after with nuances of dank passion fruit and (lone) pine on the end.

Hazy Juicy Pillowy Dank

Nose is floral, tropical & a bit dank. Pours hazy gold w/decent head. Mouthfeel is clean/smooth. On the palate, a bit bready, but plenty of hoppiness to carry forward. Notes of lemon, grapefruit, juniper hit the palate nicely. Low to moderate bitterness.

Not much flavor on the initial taste, then it comes firing through. Great mango/citrus/tropical flavor. Definitely a must.

Melon....strong fruity nose. Smooth sipper, slightly dank and well made. Lactose addition seems to cut down the bitterness nicely.

This is delicious! Great aroma of citrus and hops. Great balanced flavors of melon/stone fruit along with some bitter zest and hops. Doesn’t drink like 8.1%

I was pretty excited to try this beer. That said I found it incredibly unbalanced. Cloyingly sweet, Candied orange peel upfront with a ton of hop burn on the back. There was no balance in between.
