Fresh can drunk 8/16/18.
Heavily hazy-to-soupy, bronze-maize-golden with a small, modestly-well-retained, white head atop.
Smell is pure Galaxy goodness backed by just the right amount of fruity, minimally bubble gummy, yeast character. Light, honey-tinged, cracker/biscuit malts back gently and the nose gets more and more tropical and juicy with warming. Light guava, white wine and mineral join the fray and there's no sign of alcohol, resin or flaw.
In the mouth it's shockingly flavorful, with big passion fruit, guava and light lime hop notes backed by a gentle malt sweetness, tight carbonation, high attenuation and a soft texture. Mango, lime, white wine and mineral continue through the finish, with spicy Galaxy notes and heavily juicy lime-guava lingering wonderfully. I don't remember the regular version being remotely this good, but obviously they've dialed this one in. This has just about everything good about four and six seam minus all of the alcohol. Really fantastic stuff.
