Undated can drunk 11/1/21. Moderately hazy, brass-bronze-golden with a large, white head showing moderate retention. Smells the part - juicy and citrusy with light earth and mineral from the Galaxy and plentiful tropical fruit. Malts are mostly out-of-the-way, adding light honey and dough. No alcohol or flaw. Bit of pine, but I wouldn't call it twangy/resinous. In the mouth, however, it doesn't quite add up. It's juicy, soft, malty and not boozy or weirdly yeasty, but the flavors don't really come together for me. Just a bit too punchy on the citrus with lingering pine and bitter grapefruit peel alongside candied pineapple and overripe mango. Maybe a case of just too much? I do often get that when brewers go absolutely berserk on the hopping. But I'm not sure what it is, that's a random guess. Didn't love it, which is odd since I absolutely love Invisible Airwaves.
