Bottle thanks to Calvin. Pours a cloudy orange gold with thick frothy white head that lasts. The aroma is strong floral hop, pine, citrus. Medium mouthfeel with nice galaxy hop, pine, light bitterness. Easy to drink, very good.

22 ounce bottle into tulip glass; no bottle dating, but is a recent release. Pours slightly hazy deep gold color with a 1-2 finger dense white head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Spotty soapy lacing clings around the glass, with some light streaming carbonation. Aromas of big mango, tangerine, pineapple, passion fruit, lemon zest, orange peel, floral, grass, light pine, honey, light caramel, bread, and floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with bright citrus/tropical hops and moderate pale malt balance; with good strength. Taste of big mango, tangerine, pineapple, passion fruit, lemon zest, orange peel, citrus rind, pine, floral, grass, honey, light caramel, bread, and floral/grassy earthiness. Fair amount of floral/pine bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of mango, tangerine, pineapple, passion fruit, lemon zest, orange peel, citrus rind, pine, floral, grass, honey, light caramel, bread, and floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Fantastic complexity of juicy citrus/tropical hops with moderate pale malt sweetness; with a great malt/bitterness balance and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Medium carbonation and body; with a smooth, crisp, and moderately sticky mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is well hidden with only a slight warming present after the finish. Overall this is an awesome IPA. All around great complexity and balance of bright citrus/tropical hops and moderate malt sweetness; and very smooth and crisp to drink. A highly enjoyable offering.

Bomber. And man was I excited to find another Galaxy hopped beer! Love ’em. Pours a nice orange with a slight haziness and a decent head. Aromas are oranges. Not quite the passionfruit punch I was hoping for. First sip is awesome, but it seems to get weaker as I go. As it warms it becomes a little less clean and the orange- flavor hops come through and decrease the passionfruit I soooo love. It’s a good beer, but I would have liked to see it be all galaxy all the time.
