Fueled by Gravity is produced using the finest European Two-Row Malts, which results in less protein and a more mellow flavor. Additionally, the finest Galaxy Hops from Australia and New Zealand are used in the production of this Hazy. Galaxy is originally a descendent of the German Hop, Perle. Today’s Galaxy Hop yields the highest percentage of essential oils, which leads to beer with citrus, peach, and passion fruit aromas.

Can from Drankenhandel Leiden. Aroma is fruity hops with citrus, tropical fruits, pineapple, mango, light pine, grass. Flavour is moderate sweet with an above medium bitter finish and mild hopburn. Body is medium. Pretty tasty, some hopburn that gets into the way of smoothness.

Can. Pours a hazy earthy orange with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has sweet grains and earthy citrus with a bit of bread and a touch of resin underlying. Flavor also has a good amount of earthy citrus with a bit of sweet grains and bread backing.

16 oz. can with a best before date of Sept 2020. I know what trub is. Apparently Connecticut Valley doesn’t. This is the grossest looking beer I’ve seen in a while. The amount of junk suspended in this liquid is disgusting. The only way I can drink this is if I don’t look at it.

Flavor is grassy and weedy. It might be juicy but I don’t know with all these damn chunks floating around in my mouth. If they could clean this up a little bit it might be pretty good. Maybe.

On tap at Man in the Moon. Hazy yellow with a small white head. Aroma and taste of hops, pineapple, mango and some light malt. Refreshing and with a rather low bitterness.

10/29/19, bit of hop burn, surprisingly. Didn't even roll or shake it, but otherwise nice Galaxy sweetness on the nose and front. The hop burn and grassy finish distract for now.

Can at home. Unclear ugly murky pale yellow color, medium sized white head. Aroma is malts, hops, a bit resinous but also a bit sweaty initially. Flavor is malts, hops, grassy a bit, again a bit sweaty, citrussy also. Hmm in the end I'm disappointed because the sweaty notes dominate. Bleh. Another crappy exemple of a Double NEIPA. Not my thing. 5-1-5-3-7.

Can. Hazy and slightly yellowish gold beer, small cream colour head. Light malts, light creamy sweetness. A slightly thin malt base for the style. Good cooling pine hop intro. Light piney floral citrus. Touch of something tropical, well buried. A light and clean and very drinkable dipa, but, where is the Galaxy hop muscle? This used to be a robustly bitter hop with good tropical fruit depth. It's large scale cultivation seems to have robbed it, quite a bit.
