Can shared with my familia. It pours cloudy golden - yellow with a medium, fluffy white head. The aroma is super fresh, sticky, sappy, resinous, juicy, bright orange creamsicle, tangerine, mango, pine needles, peach melba and freshly baked fruit pie. The taste is drying upfront, decent hit of bitterness, green, weedy, dank, bong rips, floury bread, lemon - lime, grapefruit, pithy, zesty, slightly soapy, waxy peel, pine needles, tropical fruit vibes, mango, peachy and a nip of booze with a drying finish. Medium+ body and moderate, carbonation. Super bright, green and fruity vibes. Lovely.

Teku showing dark gold with sparse white foam.
The nose shows intense notes of pine resin, cannabis, and grapefruit pith.
The palate is well carbonated and medium bodied. Cannabis and grapefruit pith forwardness throughout with a light pine resin background and a balanced sharp bitterness on the end.

Can at home from J and B Craft Drinks, Amsterdam, 18th November 23. Pours a deep orange haze, firm frothy head. Aroma is really resinous and pithy. Taste is assertively bitter, resinous pine and pithy grapefruit and citrus rind, this is what I like about Alchemist, the haze, but with great bitterness. There is a balance with grainy malts toward the finish, leading to a long bitter and pithy linger. Outstanding

Can: Poured a slightly hazy yellow color ale with a large white foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of dry hoppy notes with some citrus notes and with some faint tropical notes. Taste is also a mix of hoppy notes with some citrusy notes, light juicy notes and a dry hoppy finish. Well made IPA with great hoppy notes with some bitterness.

Canned 9/27/23, drunk 10/6/23. Hint of haze, mostly clear, bright, waxy yellow. Small, white head to ring. Juicy, with good balancing grains and soft yeast notes. Lots of mineral. The Citra seems to supplant the grossness of the galaxy and together it's a juicy, lovely, spicy experience Soft, malty, good attenuation. Lots of spice, fruit ester and moderate mango. Clean, well attenuated, spicy. Just a solid all around drinker without any issues.

Can from Jeff, thanks for the hookup! Pours a hazy golden orange color with a good sized frothy white head that persists. Spicy pine and citrus dominate the nose with hints of tropical and sweet bread. Flavor follows very nice brew.

Pours hazy gold into a snifter. Bright white head with medium retention recedes to coat surface. Mango and passion fruit aromas. Sweet with hot caramel, meadow and dusty tropical fruit skin upfront turning to dusty pith in the lasting finish.

Pours hazed blonde, medium sized, fairly fast fading white head. Scent is citric indeed, green, but balanced and interesting enough - as citra can sometimes be a bit ... boring on it's own. The Galaxy definately helps ! definately has more fruitburst from the can, than it does in the glass. Again, drink from the can really IS true at the alchemist. Taste is full, very bitter (way more so than crusher / heady / focal. Citric, green, fruity (mild tropical) . Very intense. Perhaps just a tad to bitter for the balance. Still an amazing IPA, but not on par with heady.

16 oz can from Anthony, thanks man! Canned 6/23/21, consumed 8/12/21. Somewhat hazy golden color, white head, drippy lacework. Grapefruit, pineapple, citrus, and pine all coming through. Some sweetness, and a nice resiny bitterness. Well balanced. Flavorful. Nice stuff.
