Reviewed from notes.
Thanks Jessica!
Can to tulip.
Appearance: burnt yellow haziness with a two finger white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: mixed citrusy, pineapple, melon and pine hoppy notes; light clean bready malts
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine bittersweet juicy and piney sweet quality; finishes leaning into the pineapple and melon
Texture: medium bodied - maybe a touch under; leaning to being a sipper; some smoothness but also a light sketch of hop assertiveness
Overall: a very nicely done New England styled DIPA I would return to.

Tall can from Brewcraft at home on Valentine’s Day. Hazy bright peach yellow pour with puffy white head. Aroma is green apple, grass, some pineapple. A bit more faint than I hoped for but maybe not that fresh. Canned Nov 10, 2020. Taste is crisp and bitter then fruity apple, pine, grass. Dry finish. Smooth somewhat foamy palate. Nice. Not a ton going on but a good dry and crisp double IPA. Didn’t realize galaxy was so green apple-y and grassy.

Can (11/10/20) pour from Julio's Liquors. Appearance is cloudy yellow-orange with nice sparkle, 2-finger width foamy white head with excellent retention and spotty lacing. Aroma is strong citrus over pineapple and mild musty herb. Taste is mix of herb, citrus and pineapple rind with late bitter. Mouthfeel is medium side of light-to-medium bodied with thick texture, soft-to-average carbonation, bitterness that almost numbs the back of the jaw and finish as taste. Overall, another solid DIPA from TG.

16 oz. A month old. Aroma is cantaloupe, peach, orange, my nutsack. Pours hazy orange golden with a collapsing bone-white head. Taste has a moderate pithy bitterness along with some moderate juicy sweetness. Great creamy mouthfeel. There's something funky here both in aroma and flavor that's reminiscent of sweaty balls, but I can look past it and see that it's still a tasty beverage.

16 oz can from Tavour. Hazy, milky pour, one finger foamy head. Light, dry hoppy aroma. Taste focuses on the hop variety, bitter citrusy notes, drying out at the finish. Heavy body, thick.

Draft at The Tap, Bloomington, IN. Cloudy/murky orange body, medium off-white head. Juicy body with light tartness and hints of alcohol; citrus and orange blossoms. Unique muddled complexity & heft, very, very nice.
