(473ml can from Luc, thanks a lot!) Pours thick pulpy smoothie-like medium orange with lots of mango/passionfruit puree and some passionfruit seed/pip black dots floating in it, and a huge but rapidly fading orange-white head with no lace. Aroma of potent tart juicy passionfruit with some residual mango sweetness and somewhat biting grapefruit pulp in there too, definitely a sweet/sour blend. Flavour follows though there's more punch from grapefruit pulp, lactic type tartness that could easily come from fruit, mango flesh in there for balance, the lactose and vanilla is quite soft, finish is much more grapefruit-inflected with a certain zest and pith bitterness trying to creep in. Medium-full body with very fine carbonation and no hint of ABV at all. Damn good stuff, for not-a-smoothie this is basically a smoothie with the hops lagely buried in the fruit combination as you'd expect...likely a lot of complementary notes. Definitely want more of this series now!

(473ml can from Luc, thanks!) Pours quite hazy medium gold with a small but stable fine head and lots of lace. Aroma of floral red fruit, melon, peppery rindy fruit, grapefruit peels, subtle sweet fruit cup, moderate dankness, smooth fruity esters. Flavour is mid-sweet up front with lots of floral red fruit, melon, guava, grapefruit peels, sweet canned fruit cup is in the background, becomes quite dry from the middle on with punchy grapefruit zest/oil and melon rind, peppery but not too far into hop burn territory for Messo with relatively low bitterness. Light to medium bodied with smooth and fairly creamy carbonation. A bit of a funny duck this one, with an atypically green peppery vibe for Galaxy supplanting the usual lychee and pineapple juiciness I adore. Still a very solid brew, enjoyable.

473mL can, pours an opaque milky yellow with a small tiny head. Aroma is rather chalky, with lots of dank hops, yeast soup, and pithy stone fruits. Flavour is very juicy, with lots of pithy stone fruits, lots of dank hops, and a touch of chalk. The juiciness and dank hops work well, but it's a little harsh. Good stuff.
