Draught at the brewery, 12/30/17.
Fully hazy, though not quite soupy, mango-maize-golden with a medium-sized white head showing modest retention.
Dry mineral and white wine emanate from the Galaxy and the combination of Denali deepens the tropical character adding plentiful, juicy pineapple. Spicy, leafy, green, dank character abounds, with soft cream-of-wheat and biscuit character backing things gently. Hint of pine and dry nectarine, but it's not aggressive in the least. Very deep, earthy, mineral-rich Galaxy here with plentiful spice lingering. No alcohol or flaw.
In the mouth it's equally dry and yet soft from all of the wheat. Tight carbonation spreads spicy, capsaicin-like notes throughout and light white grape, pineapple and meyer lemon persist to the long finish with moderate bitterness, light pine and low resin lingering. Juicy, zesty and very refreshing.

4 oz. sample draft at the source. Aroma shows me very green whole cone hop cones. Flavor is earthy pine, mild/ weak tropical hints in the center. Malt bill is subdued. Ends with a mega ton of dirty/ dry earthy hops. Bitterness is on the stronger side.
