Canned 2/17/26, drunk 4/2/26, compliments of tfontana. Thanks, Tom!
Smells very Galaxy-forward, initially. Big sprucey acidity and spice that is probably augmented by the spiciness of the Mosaic. It does round a bit on the end, getting fruitier, with peach and mango from the Citra, but also gains some austerity from the woody Simcoe. All-in-all, excellent complexity and the ability to pick out four individual hops is impressive (though they are very distinctive hops, to be sure). No alcohol, though there's lots of dry hop, earth, chalk, etc...Malts show light honey and white bread with a fair bit of cracker, as well, balancing nicely.
Bright and spicy with a fair bit of chalky Galaxy and dry hop. Galaxy really pushing it on the sprucey, astringent acidity character, but the Citra pulls it from the brink, softening things somewhat with mango and sweet citrus flavors. With a big woody character and dull spice, I don't think the Simcoe or Mosaic are doing too much of interest here. The malts are fat and round, with big sweetness, which is much needed. Creates a big juxtaposition of sweet and dry/spicy, which is somewhat interesting but not all that cohesive. Somewhat interesting and definitely unusual, though I think the Galaxy dominates (as its wont to do) to the overall detriment of the beer.
