@Ulfborg Scooper. Growler. Cloudy light orange, small white froth. Juicy citrus aroma, pine, pineapple, light notes of fennel. Similar flavour, so juicy with perfectly balancing bitterness. Just perfectly drinkable.

Bottle share on 7/30/16, thanks to Jeremy. Hazy straw colored pour, small wispy head. Fruity aroma, tropical, melon, mango, citrus. More big fruit flavors in the taste, but still allowing some maltiness to make itself known. Very refreshing on a hot day, almost too fruity for an IPA, but delicious.

Draught @ Milk and Hops - Chelsea. Hazy bright yellow with small frothy white head, sweetish citrus peel aroma, low carbonation, very well balanced, slightly sweet citrus peel taste, thickish body mellow palate, medium bitter finish. Incredibly smooth and mellow for this ABV.

750 mL growler filled 5/27/16, drunk 6/9/16.
Deep sunset-orange with strong brass-gold hues and a good deal of haziness, though no soupiness. White head atop is medium-sized and well-retained.
A truly juicy experience in the nose as the tell-tale spicy, dank, marajuana-tinged notes combine with a massive orange juice-like character. Very little "dry" or "acidic"-like notes from the nose with plentiful honey-like maltiness and no alcohol or flaw.
Wow. What a bizarre flavor....it’s definitely not bad, but it’s almost like a blend of marmalade jam, fresh squeezed orange juice and flinstones chewables. Was discussing with a friend citric acid additions and this one is definitely a candidate. The orange juice character just seems a little forced and/or lightly artificial. Definitely not like any galaxy ipa I’ve ever tried. Otherwise, same deliciously soft texture with ample, very sweet malts (everything here seems sweeter than most of HF’s other beers) and tight carbonation. Will revisit/rerate soon, no doubt, though interestingly wasn’t as blown away by Double Citra either, so maybe these two just aren’t my thing.

750 ml growler (3 weeks old) shared with friends at the Hoppy Pub, Thessaloniki, from trade with Frank. Hazy yellow golden color with white to off white head. Heavy hoppy and light malty aroma, citrusy fruity, orange, tropical fruits, grassy, pine. Sweet and bitter fruity and grassy taste. Medium to full silky oily body with soft carbonation.
