Bomber drunk 7/18/18.
Moderately-to-heavily hazy, brassy-bronze-golden with a medium-sized, thin, off-white head that falls to cover quickly.
Dirty, way too "rustic" nose shows actual dirt, chalk, piney twang, peach-papaya and some strange, peppery spice. Really smells nothing like a TG IPA and I've had quite a few. They're usually clean, crisp and very well-executed, nothing that this IPA contains. I was really excited for the Galaxy too, as it's one of my favorite hops, but other than some vague grape-like character and mineral, there's not much going on here.
In the mouth it's bitter, piney, sprucey and while it shows some light grape, there's little malt depth and no juice. Weird, twangy pine-peach-papaya with strong dirt elements leading to a bland finish. Engaging carbonation and not overly boozey, but that's about all that can be said for it.

On tap at Bukowski Tavern, pours a cloudy peachy golden with a small white head. Aroma is fairly yeasty, with lots of dank hops, stone fruit pith, and biscuity malt. Flavour is very fruity, pithy and yeast, with intense tropical fruits, plenty of yeast, and tropical fruits. There's almost a touch of butter on this. This isn't living up for me. Decent.

Pours a hazy, pineapple-gold, with smallish, lasting, fluffy cream head. Aroma is basement dankness and sour cat box, with some hints of citrus. Flavor is all pine/spruce hops upfront--very bitter--with resin and some citrus. Good stuff.

Pretty good double IPA. Aromas are very dank with resiny weedy hops some fruit and pale malt. Flavors are like nose nice balance between Bittersweet and carbonation. Good body and finish. Not much sign of the strength.

Bottle. Glowing cloudy orange color. Instersting fruity nose of mango and mikan and a bit of cabbage. Rich and full flavor, great hops, very peppery, dry finish. Not as fresh as possible but still great.
