Pours hazy gold into a tulip. Bright white head with good retention recedes leaving scant sheets. Marshmallow and tropical fruit aromas. Soft and thin with mango, pineapple and passionfruit upfront turning to tart citrus in the lasting finish. i’m being kind with soft and thin.. this tasted very good, but was quite flat.

Fresh bottle, hot off the shelves here in MA. Finally tracked down a god damned beer from this brewery and it did not disappoint. 22 oz bomber drunk 8/13/15.
Hazy/murky/cloudy pour as is the wave of the future destined to look. But yet, as always, a massive, thick well-retained white head.
Well, Ive definitely realized I dont like Galaxy hops, at all. The nose isnt so problematic with them, though the white peach and ripe apricot gets a bit punchy. In the flavor, however, while the hops arent resinous, theres still a shitload of some compound that, in large quantities present in these type of beers, really gives an aspirin-like flavor and also coats the mouth with a weird capsaicin-like lingering character. 20 minutes after finishing the beer its still here. Anyways, back to the beer, its very, very, very similar to Galaxy Dry Hopped Fort Point. Clean, wonderfully-textured, attenuated, supple malts comfort and balance. Lots of strong hop flavors, quite delicious even in spite of the galaxy hops. Still think Mr. Hill is doing even cleaner, less punchily/messy hopped pales up there, but this is certainly fantastic and only a slight tier below his better/best stuff.
