Our flagship American IPA highlights the distinctively aromatic Australian Galaxy hop. The nose bursts with pine, citrus rind, melon and pineapple. Pronounced flavors of peach, clementine, and tropical fruits are accentuated with moderate bitterness and balanced by a light, biscuity malt character.

Got in a BIF from oline73. 16 ounce can into signature tulip glass, canned on 9/21/2016. Pours very hazy golden orange color with a 1-2 finger dense and rocky white head with good retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass. Aromas of huge grapefruit, tangerine, pineapple, peach, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, lemon/orange peel, light pepper, pine, honey, wheat, cracker, bread, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Incredible aromas with fantastic complexity and balance of bright/juicy citrus/tropical/pine hops and moderate bready malt notes; with great strength. Taste of huge grapefruit, tangerine, pineapple, peach, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, lemon/orange peel, light pepper, pine, honey, wheat, cracker, bread, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate pine/grassy/citrus rind bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of grapefruit, tangerine, pineapple, peach, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, lemon/orange peel, pepper, pine, honey, wheat, cracker, bread, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Incredible complexity, robustness, and balance of bright/juicy citrus/tropical/pine hops and moderate bready malt flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and zero lingering hop astringency after the finish. Light-moderate dryness from bitterness, increasing through the glass. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/grainy/sticky, and lightly resinous balanced mouthfeel that is awesome. Zero warming alcohol for 7.2%. Overall this is an insane IPA! All around incredible complexity, robustness, and balance of bright/juicy citrus/tropical/pine hops and moderate bready malt flavors; very smooth and easy to drink with the modest bitterness. A highly amazing offering.

16 oz can from dbarnold. Thanks! 9/21/16 date on the can. Pours a completely hazed orange color with a white head and some mid-plus lace-work. Fruity (orange, tangerine, and pineapple) and resiny pine aroma. Rind, pith, and the actual fruit part all come through. Taste is juicy sweet early, and turns fairly bitter (rind/resin) mid-palate through the close. These a lighter malt backbone in there as well that is almost oaty. Has a zip of carbonation on the mouth, with a nice dry close. Has more bitterness to it, and perhaps a bit more body, than the Melcher Street can that I had yesterday. Both are excellent, and I'd happily drink a lot of both, but I think I prefer this ever so slightly.

Super fresh can shared @Brasserie 4:20 (Rome), thank you DCLAguy11! Pours opalescent yellow with a medium head. Super fruity aroma, pineapple, peach, mango, passionfruit. Flavour is incredibly rich and well balanced, fruit juice, medium to light bitterness, alcohol is very well hidden. Medium body, velvet texture, medium to light carbonation. Amazing!

Entirely opaque. Little carbonation and next to no head. Fresh fruit in the aroma and flavor, some pineapple. This is good but not 100th percentile.

Bouteille 750ml, gracieuseté de tom10101, merci Tommy! Couleur jaune orangée trouble, mousse blanc cassé voluptueuse laissant une belle dentelle. Arôme d’agrumes, houblon résineux, malt pâle, zeste de pomélo, gazon fraîchement coupé, pêche. Goût d’agrumes, mangue, houblon résineux, malt, un peu de cannabis, bonne amertume. Carbonatation moyenne, corps moyen-dense, texture ample. Superbe.
