Bottle split at Level 6, thanks to Kenny, 05/09/18. Lightly hazed golden orange with a decent off white cap. Nose is grassy, caramel malts, bitter orange, toasted grains, grapefruit zest. Taste comprises orange pith, pine needle, citric tinged straw, grassy bite, melon, toasted bread. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with balanced hop bitterness. Ok DIPA if a touch old skool in its approach.

Bottle shared in London - cheers to Kenny. Pours clear gold with a bubbly, white head. Nice throwback DIPA, ample bready malts, pine, ripe citrus fruits. Full bodied, oily and chewy, with fine carbonation. Warming finish, resinous, more pine, juicy orange. Solid.

Level 6 bottleshare. Light haze on this gold beer, tiny pale cream colour head. Palate is light and mildly dry, decent fine carbonation. Smooth light malts, sweet. Hops bring a smooth pine. Nibbly bittermess. Light tang. Modest tangy tropical fruits under the bitterness. Light bitterish finish. Yeah typical Galaxy. Could probably do with a sweeter malt base for balance.

Bottle shared by Caesar @ Mancave tasting. Clear golden color, average to medium sized white to off-white head. Aroma is lightly malts, hops, nicely fruity. Flavor is about the same: lightly malts, hops, nicely bitter. Decent body and carbonation. Good.

Draught @ City Hops. Faintly cloudy golden with small frothy off-white head, lemon-mango aroma, low carbonation, mildly bitter citrus-mango taste, smooth body, long mango-citrus finish. Very well balanced, and strong mango effect probably through the Galaxy hops.
