My experience with Westbrook is somewhat limited, but I will say this is probably one of my least favorite of their beers - but, that may have something to do with my personal bias against Galaxy hops. Just not my thing. So, take that as you will.
Galaxy IPA pours a quite lovely, thick gold. I was startled by how much gunk came out of the can when I rinsed it. Damnit - always forget to roll my cans first. I wonder how much of a snowglobe this might have been. The beer smells and tastes quite nice and juicy. But, my bone of contention is with the hop bitterness - it has a strange, salty, mildly savory aspect to it. That is bizarre. I haven't experienced that before except in IPA with that garlic/onion aroma and flavor. This is different - not onion. Just strangely salty and bitter.
I LOVE Westbrook's Key Lime Gose - I'd drink that any day. But that is SUPPOSED TO BE salty. This is not. Very strange.

From growler in a snifter glass.
Look: A clear, radiant copper color.
Smell: Pine with some citrus notes.
Taste:Initially hoppy with pine and citrus notes that remain after the bitter taste goes away.
Feel: Somewhat rough, gets increasingly pleasant as it warms closer to room temperature.
