Good malt and pine, a decent west coast IPA. Haven't seen a beer with Galena in a while, but I'm down for some old school bitterness.

Poured from the tap. Very slightly hazy gold with small white head. Sweaty chewy malt with bitter citrus hops. Hop profile is nice, but the malt is bit off.

Aroma is very faint lagery hpos. Has a yellowish gold body with bleach white head. Flavour is good sweet chewy hops and no malt character. Mouthfeel is full enough though there's lots of residual sugar. It's a decent enough IPA though not a standout.

Draught at the brewery
Cloudy golden color. Old school hop, sweaty, hop bag, light dank. Good body, malt and toffee base, lightnseeetness, robust hopping with nice hop resins, a bit piney.
Pleasant.

On tap at A-Frame, pours a hazy amber orange with a small white head. Aroma is loaded with cough syrup, sickly sweet caramel, and a touch of resinous hops. Flavour unfortunately follows through, with nasty cough syrup, sickly sweet caramel malts and subdued hops. Total trainwreck - cough syrup and cotton candy. This needs serious revision.

On tap at the brewery. Clear medium amber under a lingering white head that leaves lots of lace. Nose is lots of citrus with orange peel dominant along with a big floral component. Flavour is a light sweet caramel base for a medium citrus bitterness. Mouth is medium slick with average carbonation and a long bitter finish. 8/3+/7/3/14
