Brewery draught, 5/2/25.
Near-turbid as pictured.
This is really well-done Galaxy, wow. Bright and slightly juicy with guava and white wine. Not much spruce or hard pine. Malt shows biscuit and slight honey. Very clean with lemon and white wine lingering.
Lightly juicy with healthy bitterness. Quite dry, and to that end, I do wish it was a bit fuller in body or even slightly sweeter. As is, the dryness exacerbates the hard uber-drying nature of Galaxy. That said, hard to complain about a beer being dry and it isn't under malted, just maybe a bit light on malt relative to Galaxy.

Pours hazy yellow with a thick white head. Aroma of soft orange. Taste has soft tropical notes, slight oak. Palate has orange on the nose, woody. Good.

Taster pour on tap at the brewery. Appearance is opaque yellow (juicy) with no apparent sparkle, thin cap of foamy head with fair retention and nice leggy lacing. Aroma is strong grapefruit and scalliony herb. Taste follows aroma. Mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with frothy, slightly granular texture, average carbonation and crisp finish as taste. Overall, strong flavor/aroma. Not terribly complex but quite good.
