Hazy golden with a nice creamy-frothy, warm-white head, good stay and nice thin, slicy foam lacing. The Galaxy gives a nice little fruitiness to the citrusy notes, kind of passion fruit over the soft oats, cereal grain base. Hints of spiciness, herbal and berries from the Enigma. This beautiful mix continues into the taste. Juicy mouthfeel, and the dryness is not overloaded. Some bitterness does come out, from time to time, like zest from a lemon, and a touch of tart is left. Nice to have brought this one back, after a couple of years.

(473ml can from L'Axe du Malt, Quebec City) Pours quite hazy deep gold with a decent white head and a touch of lace. Aroma is floral fruity hop-forward for sure, lychee, papaya, guava and melon vibes with a lot of grassy perfumed overtones and grapefruit. Flavour is fairly dry and again on the floral fruity tip you might expect from these hops, similar notes to the nose with a perfumed lychee/melon core and grassy, herbal and slightly rindy edges. Bone dry into the finish, floral red fruit, light rindy grassy astringency but maybe moderately bitter. Medium bodied, slightly chewy, soft carbonation. Enigma makes me wary and Galaxy could play into its worst characters, but the hops work well together and while floral it's quite balanced. Nice dryness and yeast profile.

Intense fruité principalement tropical au nez. Arômes de groseilles, de pinot gris, de cantaloup, de pamplemousse sur fond de résine de houblon. Liquide jaunâtre tirant légèrement sur l’orangé, très flou et opaque, se couvrant d’une petite mousse de densité moyenne qui s’attarde quand même. La bouche est également intensément fruitée avec une amertume de zeste de fruits. Des notes tropicales, pamplemousse, groseilles avec une touche de raisins blancs. Beaucoup de corps avec une âpreté de zeste de fruits. Une NEIPA dans la plus pure tendance Québécoise des jus de fruits.

Can: Poured a cloudy/hazy color ale with a large foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of floral citrusy notes with some nice floral hops undertones. Taste is a mix of juicy citrus hops notes with some floral undertones and residual sugar notes. Body is full with limited filtration and good carbonation. Enjoyable NEIPA with a dryer finish then some of the other versions.
