A luscious tropical fruit bowl of flavour, combining two of our favourite hops. Citra's juicy mango and citrus character is the perfect foil for the overripe peach and deep resinous quality provided by Galaxy. We've also switched up our house yeast for a strain that accentuates the tropical flavours and soft, pillowy body.

Pours a hazy orange with soft, fluffy head.

Smell is juicy and fruity with notes of orange, peach, melon, piney resin and mango with some dank and herbal hints.

Taste is juicy, fruity and a bit dank. Notes of pine, resin, mango citrus, melon and gooseberries with a soft bitterness. Intense but clean and superdrinkable.

Mouthfeel is medium, soft, pillowy and well carbonated.

Overall, another reason for Cloudwater being the best brewery in the world. Drinkable, powerful and impeccably balanced.

Pours a hazy, deep orange coloration with a small, fluffy head. Smells of light biscuity malt and tropical/citrus hops, as well as a distinct herbal/earthy accent. Taste is an excellent balance of light biscuity malt and fruity, juicy, herbal and earthy hops, with tropical and citrus notes of passion fruit, mango, orange and grapefruit. Finishes with a light bitterness and some passion fruit and orange lingering in the aftertaste. Soft mouthfeel with a medium body and carbonation.

This feels quite dominated by the Galaxy hops in a really good way, with intense tropical notes of passion fruit, while Citra brings some mango and orange to the table as well. While this lacks the resinous notes advertised on the label to me and I've heard of Galaxy being described as resinous, there are some noticeable herbal and earthy accents to this that I'm unsure of where they come from exactly as well. Overall, this makes for a great NEIPA with that typical Cloudwater flavor profile of fruity, juicy and more herbal and bitter notes as well.
