16 ounce can into tulip glass, no can dating. Pours opaquely hazy deep golden amber color with a 1-2 finger dense and rocky off white head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Thick foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of big tangerine, orange juice, red grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew melon, strawberry, gooseberry, citrus peel/zest, wood, peppercorn, pine, wheat, white bread dough, biscuit, light honey/toast, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and bready malt notes; with big strength. Taste of huge tangerine, orange juice, red grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew melon, strawberry, gooseberry, citrus peel/zest, wood, peppercorn, pine, wheat, white bread dough, biscuit, light honey/toast, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Light pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, floral, woody, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of tangerine, orange juice, red grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew melon, strawberry, gooseberry, citrus peel/rind, wood, peppercorn, pine, wheat, white bread dough, biscuit, light honey/toast, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Fantastic complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and bready malt flavors; with an awesome malt/bitterness balance, and no cloying/astringent flavors after the finish. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Medium carbonation and medium-plus body; with a very smooth, creamy/bready/grainy, and fairly sticky/resinous/rindy mouthfeel that is great. Minimal warming alcohol for 7.5%. Overall this is a fantastic NEIPA. All around fantastic complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and bready malt flavors; very smooth and easy to drink with the mellowly bitter/resinous/drying finish. Great soft feel and not aggressive. Fantastic Vic Secret, Galaxy profile. Extremely juicy, vibrant, dank, and earthy hops; with a nice sized wheat/oat/malt backbone. Mild residual sweetness with lingering resin dryness. A highly enjoyable offering, and outstanding spot on style example.

16 oz. Aroma is raspberry, vanilla, citrus peel. Pours hazy brick red with a one finger crackling reddish-white head that falls into a ring after 30 seconds. Taste is moderately sweet, lightly bitter, with flavors of raspberry and vanilla, very much like a milkshake. Good.

Bomber from Tavour. First time trying this brewery. Normal looking pour for the style. Roasty, ashy aroma. Taste continues with the roast dominating, and some sweetness trickling in at the finish. Lingering bitterness and mildly dry.

Can shared by Yaniv, thanks! Pours near black with a yellowish brown head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has dark grains and vanilla with light roast, some chocolate and a touch of strawberry. Flavor combines chocolate, dark grains and vanilla with a touch of strawberry underlying.

Impressively tasty pineapple milkshake, mostly hella hop notes, day Galaxy is LIT. Well done. Sometimes I get a C-5 galaxy load of pineapple and it triggers some piña colada repressed memories, but this is mostly juicy with a nice pineapple milkshake back

Taster at Orange & Brew. Dark stout color with a sudsy tan head. Indeed a cocoa nose, or more of a fudge note on, yes, graham crackers. Yeah, lots of fudge and sweetness, and not a whole lot of obvious alcohol. Slight note of cherry somewhere in there. Sweetness can get a little excessive, I think. Almost tastes like lipstick was left on the sample glass.

Draft at Standard Market. Very cloudy in a tulip glass, with a thin ring of foam around the edge. Smell is more of a strong apricot, but close enough. Very pleasant and a bit tart. I think I catch more orange and apricot before peaches, but the total is a great fruity impression with just a bit of sourness, and that's where the peaches come in. Not quite dry per se, but the hops are knocking back a lot of sweetness so it stays nice for all of its fruit juice character. Makes for a great dessert beer.

Can shared at Lucky Bamboo share. Pours a hazy, straw gold color with a finger of white foam. White grapefruit, pineapple and passion fruit aromas. Good fruit flavors on the palate as well. Crushable with a lingering pineapple, passion fruit slight hop burn. Tasty.
