(473ml can c/o Luc, thanks!) Pours opaque medium yellow with a thick stable white head and lace. Aroma is surprisingly bright and floral, lots of candied yellow citrus and perfumed flowers, some pineapple candy as well, overtones of a sweet sativa, some doughy malt. Flavour follows the high bright and floral map, again lots of candied lemons and limes, touches of sweet peach, fresh flowers and grass, a bit more of a candy and light dough vibe, really oily hop feel from the colder DH, not resinous per se for me but more citrus, with a little slightly astringent flower petal and grass vibe popping up later in the sip (but no real burn). Finish is off-dry, lemon candy and flowers, again a little astringent floral leafiness that resolves into moderate bitterness in the aftertaste. Light to medium-bodied, oily to creamy, soft carbonation. Interesting results of the cold dry hopping, with the bright initial profile favourable but the aftertaste less so. Solid DIPA for sure, but Mind Prism showcased Galaxy a lot better.
