From a 16 oz. can dated 07/24/20. Sampled September 4, 2020.
Murky, cloudy looking yellow-amber appearance but not opaque. A lingering frothy white head.
The nose is peaches, apricot, and pear mostly with a toasted white bread note underneath. But all these sensations are subtle.
Medium mouthfeel. Smooth.
Subtle sweet flavor followed by equally subtle fruit characteristics. Mild fruity bitterness to finish. Not bad but nothing that blew me away.

Canned 7/28/20
Pours a large frothy 2 finger head with great retention, decent soapy lacing, hazy orange color
Nose brings tropical fruit with some pineapple, a bit of citrus notes and generic tropical, a little doughy malt
Taste brings creamy malt, a little flaked wheat/oats as well as some softening minerals, a bit too much that lingerings, hops brings more tropical, pineapple and some pith, hint of pine as well, light bitterness, soft finish a touch more bitterness and more minerals with green spicy hops
Mouth is med bod, creamy soft, med foamy carb
Overall eh, hops are OK but still don't seem to bring the greatness of what Galaxy normally brings, base malts were OK, minerals still there, hops also get a little "green", so just not a great beer
