Pour is a hazy copper with a small white head. Aroma is a very slight melon and berry hop. Flavor is again a very slight melon hop with a touch of bitterness after the swallow. This was very light all around and not for me.

Can pour from Valley Beverage Company. Appearance is cloudy, light brown, milky look; fair sparkle, finger-width white foamy head with poor retention and fair leggy lacing. Aroma is tropical fruit/pineapple over malt backbone. Taste is tropical fruit, grape, followed by grapefruit bitter and cracker. Palate is light-to-medium bodied with smooth texture, lively carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, a decent mix of sweet and bitter but would have liked slightly more sweet in the equation.

Tasting at Matt's, can
Cloudy golden color with generous head. Mild hop resins and orange peel aroma. Off-dry, the flavor is cereally dominated, it's a bit resiny and pungent.
It seems quite old.

Can - Pithy grapefruit hops. Cloudy gold with a small white head. Lots of ripe fruity and citrus notes, but some pith and oxidization.

On tap at SanTan, pours a hazy golden yellow with a small white head. Aroma brings out lots of grapefruity hops and some citrus notes from the Nelson. Flavour is astringent, with lots of grapefruity and citrusy hops, maybe a hint of diacetyl too. Not overly impressed with this, as it seems a bit off. Okay. --- Beer merged from original tick of Moon Juice Galactic IPA on 16 Nov 2024 at 00:56 - Score: Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 6 | Flavor - 6 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 6. Original review text: On tap at SanTan - PHX Airport, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out citrusy hops, some stone fruit, light pithiness, and a touch of dankness. Flavour is modestly bitter, with citrusy hops, stone fruit pith, and some pine. A bit rough and uncoordinated but it's fine. Decent.
