Re-rating for the 2018 re-brew.
440ml can. Pours like orange juice, murky opaque golden with a big off-white head, fairly good retention this time. Aroma of juicy citrus and tropical fruits, ripe mango, peach, dank. Taste is even juicier, ripe tropical fruits, mango, papaya, peaches, a bit dank and green but no onions this time, quite sweet and sticky (my only real criticism), low bitterness, and for 10% an impressively low amount of alcohol/hop burn in the finish. Full bodied, thick smooth mouthfeel, soft carbonation.
Slightly increased score this time due to absence of oniony notes, nice head retention, and juicier taste and aroma.

440ml can. Opaque yellow with a white head. Aroma is dank, tropical, piney, and a bit savoury. Taste is intensely hoppy, tropical fruits, mango, pineapple, grapefruit, pine, very dank with a noticeably more savoury edge this year, albeit less so than the other variants. Full bodied, hides its booze really well.
With the increased savouriness of the other variants I'd say this one is the best of the bunch now.

500ml can. Murky yellow orange with a white head. Aroma of pungent dank weedy and herbs, ripe tropical fruits. Taste is also quite herbal, dank, ripe tropical fruits, peach, and some rather pithy citrus fruits giving a fair bit of bitterness at the end. Medium-full bodied.
Not a big fan of Galaxy so no surprise I end up rating this lower than others in the series, still a well made DIPA though.
