Can poured into a taster showing turbid pale gold with sparse white foam. The nose shows pronounced dank forwardness with NE style malt. The palate is well carbonated and medium bodied. Light notes of lemon with a strong NE style malt profile throughout with a light clean bitterness on the finish. Clean and refreshing, a lot of potential from this brewery.

16 oz can poured, gifted by Ferris, and shared with the entire Seattle crew!!! Thanks for bringing this one, Ferris. Glowing golden orange pour, active fizz head. Grainy aroma, some citrus hop impressions. Cream body, lemon and orange fruit, some grapefruit. All really creamy and juicy. Has a slight peach impression as well, so I'm surprised this is a Citra solo effort. Sneaky bitter, but refreshing and very tasty. Enjoyed this.

Opaque, muddy sort of beer. Not much head. Moderate bitterness, yeast, lupy powder. Decent but probably a bit too yeasty.

Can: Poured a hazy bright pale yellow color ale with a small white foamy head with light retention and some lacing. Aroma of dry hoppy notes with some grapefruit notes is interesting. Taste is a mix of grapefruit notes with some dry hoppy notes with very little residual sugar notes. Body is full with good carbonation. Enjoyable and probably as close as I have tasted to grapefruit juice.

Murky yellow colour. The fruity aroma spreads in the room, peach, sweet pineapple, touch of pink guava and of piney resins. Pillowy mouthfeel, a bit wheaty but not chalky, good crackery malt base, with mild residual sweetness; quite strong bitterness for the style, anticipated by juicy hops, stone fruits, some mango and sweet orange, but also some pithy bitterness in the finish.
Excellent.

Murky yellow, possibly the milkiest beer ever had. The aroma is very fruity, a bit dank. Mouthfeel like a milkshake, light sweetness, also too chalky; juicy hops, light acidity, citrus peel, grapefruit, some dank, but with some chicory bitterness in the final.
Controversial, not the best one from Superflux, maybe they pushed it too much.

Pale blond, cloudy to murky. It seems a bit more dank now, it's lean but with better mouthfeel and with better hop character, citrus oil, a bit floral, and no vegetable bitterness. Probably I enjoyed this last can more than the previous 3 from the pack.

Big grapes aroma; I would like more body and juice flavour; slightly harsh in the finish.

Murky pale blond colour. Nice aroma, fruity and dank. It's lightly sweet, the older DI from Strathcona were probably sweeter; good hopping, bitter citrus and dank character; there is some hop burn in the finish which didn't occur in the DI from Strathcona.
It's good, but still to be tuned.

2018-01-11, can, parallel with older Double Infinity Galaxy, 8-4-9-5-17=43
Cleaner. Pungent aroma, almost dank, not mellow like old Galaxy can. Excellent crisp body, plenty of tropical fruit, leaner and more drinkable then the old Galaxy.2017-12-26, can from The Gull, North Vancouver; packaged 3 days ago, 9-4-8-5-17=43
Hazy golden color with generous fluffy head. Fantastic aroma, it starts with Riesling grapes, goes on with passion fruit, later with piney resins, sweat and nuts. Dry mouthfeel, light body strength, just minimal sugars and some alcohol to provide robustness; the malt base is crackery; the hopping is powerful, very resiny, quite piney, and a bit dank, citrus zest, not as mich mellow fruits as other recent IPAs; bold bitterness and juicy hops.
Almost as good as the Galaxy version. Wonderful.

Murky yellow colour. The aroma is potent, mostly sweet orange. There is very little sweetness (apparently less than other Superflux IIPAs), the body is mainly supported by the creamy grains, oats, unfortunately this also means that there is some chalk; the hop is citrusy in the front, peel, bitter grapefruit, but it tends to have a bit of hop burn in the finish, chewy hop residue.
Very good per se, not the world class tier that Superflux has reached sometimes, not being very clean.

Murky yellow color, generous head. Fantastic citrusy aroma, pungent and fresh, touch of lemon custard. Lean and dry mouthfeel, a bit chalky but forgivable, with excellent zesty hopping; a bit of astringency in the final makes up for more bitterness than most Juicy IPAs.
Wonderful.

Murky yellow color, it looks filthy, it was canned just 2 days ago so it hasn't settled down yet. Citrus aroma, not very pungent or defined, with some milk. Lean base, delicate malts, a bit too much flour-y, with good Citra, zesty, but the base clashes a bit, it doesn't allow to the hop to shine.
To date, much less impressive than the previous versions. I'll wait before drinking more of this.

Thick and smooth, a bit chalky but extremely fruity, tropical, zesty.

Murky yello-orange color; medium head, short retention. As expected, it has a fantastic aroma, fruity, with a medley of oranges, citrus fruits, mango, tropical fruits. Good body structure, dry mouthfeel; the typical chalkiness of these beers is very low, the malt is delicate, the hopping is prominent, zesty and resiny, piney, with robust final and enough bitterness; a bit astringent and very resiny in the finish.
Probably the young age gives an extra zing that is very interesting; excellent.

Can, shared with Hrabren. Enormous thanks mcberko! Hazy orange-golden body, medium white head, medium retention. Lovely full aroma, orange, herbal, flowery, mild dank, vaaague alcohol perhaps. Smooth, soft, almost juicy body, backed by a well integrated herbal hoppy bitterness, peach, bitter oranges, bitter orange peel, peppery. Complex, tasty, damn close to fantastic. Slightly gets rough at the adges here and there, it would have been a 4 otherwise. These Canadians rock!
