16 oz can. Aroma is mild tropical fruit, yeast, malt. Flavor has soft melon, mild mango, and malt that is similar to white bread. Soft mouthfeel. Ends on a floral bitterness. Well balanced. Nice!

Pours murky dark gold into a tulip. Bright white head with good retention recedes leaving soapy spiders. Hot juicy fruit and overripe mango aromas. Soft with sweet juicy fruit, white smarties and melon upfront turning to dirty tangerine peel in the dry, medium length finish.

Tip Tap draught, 12/30/22. Heavily hazy-turbid-concrete with some bright maize. Neat, off-white head. Well-retained. Juicy citrus a bit timid, maybe a touch of pine. White bread and cracker from malts easily balance. Clean, no flaw or alcohol. Hard to tell if there's enough bitterness from the nose. For how fresh it is, it's not that hoppy. Soft, a bit earthy and piney with galaxy-like spicy resin. Good attenuation but heavily astringent herbal notes. This is kind of a mess and the galaxy just sucks as Galaxy does this year. Moderate malt depth but too much sweet and bitter juxtaposition. No cohesion or balance. Also too sweet as it warms.

Hops up front, citrus followed by a nice balanced bitterness in the finish. Real nice.
