Hazy gold with a decent white head. Orange and some chalky candy notes. Chalky orange candy. They have done better.

The aroma is nice bright hops, has great creamy foam on a milky yellow body. Flavour is chewy candied Flintstones vitamins, very sugary and fake. Mouthfeel is full enough. This is dull and too artificial to get excited about.

16oz. Appearance: a bit dirty murky golden with a white head. Aroma: tropical fruits and dank notes. Taste: along the same lines. Overall: looks like it was worth to wait for 1.5 month after release to try it when it is not green anymore.

Murky pale blond colour. The aroma is very dank, some citrus zest. Dry mouthfeel, this was needed tonight; dank hop expression, citrus essential oils, pine, and a nice hop burn touch / bitterness.
Excellent right now.

Woah, this is some ugly, filthy, murky yellow, almost light brown in the hue, with nice compact head though, for a change. Aroma of tropical fruits, sweet citrus, some sugar. The mouthfeel is quite harsh, some vegetables, pithy bitterness in the finish, hiding some of the possible malt and hop qualities.
Possibly deserving even less than 34, today.

The harshness is all gone; not too filthy or chalky either, but laso the hop starts fading a bit; I had a can one week ago and it was a bit harsher but with better hop punch.
In the end, this is the one I prefer of the 3 times I had it.

Murky yellow colour. The hop character is moderately dank and piney, smooth mouthfeel, a bit chalky but not much, with some vegetable bitterness in the finish.
Compared to most other fresh Boombox releases, not as harsh, but still too young and rough. It will be better in a couple of weeks.

473mL can, pours an opaque milky yellow with a small white head. Aroma brings out dank hops, lots of yeast, and biscuity malt. Flavour is full of dank hops, with plenty of chalky yeast, and earthy bitterness. Too much chalky yeast, resembling a lot of what I don't like about this style. Not for me.

Well, looks like slurry. No head. Harsh and green on the nose. Thin body, pretty harsh, there's a bit of the gooseberry galaxy note, but not enough for me...it's just generic hop that's hard to distinguish. Probably one I'd want to age a bit - a couple of weeks at least.
