12oz bottle. Hazy tan body, foamy white head. Pretty darn weak for a beer showcasing Galaxy, way too bitter, not enough tropical mellow fruity tones. Well, I guess there are some juicy tones. Faint apricot, peach, but the dank green onion/garlic tone dominates, maybe it’s age. I guess I should have remember this brewery is shabby before I picked up a four back. Mediocre at best.

12 oz. bottle, from the Osceola Hy-vee. Pours a light, hazy, peach color, with a medium, bubbly, off-white head. The nose is nectarines, light cloves, wheat bread, and orange peels in the finish. almost dry flavor, and a bit bitter. Light body, watery, a little astringent, and thin. This is a weak, watery, and flavorless beer. The stonefruit hints on the nose are the highlight, but the flavor is a little off, and the mouthfeel is thin and unpleasant.
