355ml can from lowcostbeer.com, 6 weeks past BBE. Look - hazy orange, small off white head, nice lacing. Nose - orange, pine resin, vanilla, grapefruit. Taste/palate - sweet and resinous, orange, vanilla, very smooth in texture. A touch of tartness in the finish with a mild bitterness. There are some Milkshake IPA elements to it without going to far. Fairly soft carbonation, just a slight touch of zing to it. Very enjoyable.

Can at home. Hazy yellow color, average sized white head. Smell and taste lightly malts, a weird flavor and aroma, is it coconut or vanilla? I don't know what it is but it's incredibly annoying and I find it really filthy in an IPA. Bleh.

18/2/2021. Can from LowCostBeer.com. Pours cloudy/murky dull orange with a good size frothy white head. Lovely aroma: sweet, peachy, orange, pineapple, vanilla, biscuit and tuiit frutti sweets. Medium sweetness with gentle bitter/tart notes. Medium body, slight creamy texture, average to soft carbonation. Enjoyed it.

35.5cl can; BB 7th Jan 2021. Drank at home on 9th Feb 2021, one month after it's preferred death! Poured into a Good People Brewing Company of Birmingham ALA pint sleeve. It's a cloudy/hazy dull golden orange colour, the head a full but fading white crown. The Galaxy hops show their thing in the both the aroma and taste, citrus fruitiness to the fore. The body is smooth and 'milky' on the palate, almost like a Hush Puppy smoothie in nature. Liked it.

Kind of an odd duck beer. Nice long lasting foamy frothy off white head with good lacing. But the beer is dirty dishwater color. Aromas are like flavors some strange sweet cookie qualities with perfume or soap. Actually fairly dry with a lingering not entirely Pleasant bitter finish. If I can get through this it'll be one and done.

Can at home from Half Barrel not sure why a WI brewery would call themselves Octopi but that’s a mystery for another day. Very cloudy lighter colored brew big head. Nose is lovely tropical fruits and grass. Tastes grassy, apricots, lychee, some vanilla. Light bitterness. Fruity finish. Nice tasting beverage

Can. Pours a hazy orange with a slight gold note with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has vanilla and tropical fruits with some grass underlying. Flavor has sweet vanilla with a growing citrus and a touch of tropical fruits. Works well.

Ridiculously hazy pure straw golden coloured body with a nice, two to three centimetre tall soapy white head. Aroma of grass, light citrus, some good resin and pine notes and an incredibly floral and perfumey hop character. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong grassy and very floral bite with a lot of tea characters like jasmine, roobios and chamomile as well with a lot of herbs and grasses around the edges along with some yeastie funk and a dose of mellow fruit-based sweetness at the tail end as well. Aftertaste shows a good deal of the hop bitterness, but also a lot of funk, perfume, grasses, citrus and tea notes and ending with a pleasant dry and sweet finish that even shows some pineapple. Overall, a nice and grassy lighter IPA that still has a ton of character and depth with a good tea-based flavour that leaves some complexity at the tail end. Nice to sample and great if you want a complex IPA without a ton of bitterness and a lighter alcohol kick without sacrificing flavour at all. I sampled this twelve ounce can purchased yesterday at Knightly Spirits in Orlando, Florida (Orange Blossom Trail) on 05-May-2018 for US$2,37 sampled in my hotel room here in Orlando, Florida a day later on 06-May-2018.
