Fluctuation from Equilibrium Brewery is one of their most renowned and highly regarded beers, perfectly embodying the brewery’s philosophy. It is a New England Double IPA with 8.1% ABV, crafted to combine juiciness, aromatic intensity, and balanced drinkability.

Brewed with generous amounts of Citra and Galaxy hops, it delivers pronounced tropical and citrus notes - mango, pineapple, apricot, and grapefruit - alongside subtle herbal and resinous undertones. The texture is soft and creamy, featuring a hazy golden-orange color crowned with a rich white head that lingers in the glass.

Despite its bold aromatic profile and full body, the finish is smooth and surprisingly drinkable, without any harsh bitterness. Fluctuation is designed to “oscillate” between flavor intensity and ease of drinking, making it distinctive and highly sought after among hazy IPA enthusiasts.

Today, it is considered a classic of Equilibrium Brewery and a beer that helped shape their identity on the American craft scene.
