Galaxy hops from Myrtleford, Victoria, Australia and Mosaic hops from Yakima, WA deliver aromas and flavours of tropical fruits, mango and citrus. Light malt body lets the hops shine through, and finishes crisp but not bitter. A hemispheric hop mashup.

7/10 Appearance 6 Aroma 8 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 7
Crisp, ultra-clear golden coloured body with a large frothy white head, about three or four centimetres at first that fades down quite quickly and leaves a pretty ugly lacing on the sides. Aroma of tropical fruits, some stone fruits, a touch of grain and lighter malts, a dose of pure caster sugar and a lot of perfumey notes - mostly from the hops, but also some from the malt, very nice and incredibly aromatic. Medium-bodied; Strong grassy and very perfumey hop character at first with a good balance of malt and a lot of sweetness and somehow - even more fruit character that shows quite nicely throughout. Aftertaste shows a mostly grassy and herbal quality with some light caster sugar sweetness with the fruits still around and a good but light balance of malt and a smooth finish that shows some light bitterness, but nothing super pungent. Overall, a nice beer and showing good fruitiness and especially perfume notes, but not a dank or pungent IPA by any means. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can purchased from Whole Foods in Arlington (Pentagon City), Virginia on 14-May-2018 for US$3,49 sampled in my hotel room in Gastonia (Charlotte), North Carolina on 25-May-2018.

Hazy, light amber. Thin head. There's an almost tomatoey note to the aroma, along with lycheeish hops. Has a mild, powdery sort of bitterness. The finish is a touch bitter. Pithy, lightly fruity. I like this one, even though it has a bit of huskiness to the malts.
