The beer pours a nice white and creamy head that dissipates at a moderate pace. The beer itself is a juicy yellow with some orange and brown hues in the middle.
The smell is pretty good. It has a good bitter dank pine note on top of juicier and slightly sweeter orange note followed by an unripe white grapefruit.
The taste is similar. The dank notes are stronger and there is a dry pine note. The juicy orange and grapefruit note are overwhelmed by the dankness and the finish is a dry slightly roasted malt note.
The feel is good. It has a medium body and a fairly dry finish. There is very little carbonation and what there is tingling with a bit of a bite.
Overall, a good beer that is definitely for those who love dankness but might be a little much for other people.

On tap, pours a hazy orange. Smell and taste have a nice combination of fruit and dank. A bit of drying bitterness. Smooth, soft feel gives way to some prickly carbonation. Good beer.

Pours like tropicana orange juice. Lots of citrusy grapefruit flesh aroma. I was expecting a lot more of the dank Galaxy character, but it really lets the Amarillo take the front seat. It's candied grapefruit all the way.

Canned a month ago.
L -- Hazy orange with a scant finger of white head produced with aerated pour. Some retention and good lacing
S -- Orange creamsicle, peach, mango, guava, lime zest, fruit leather, hint of herbaceousness
T -- Black tea, jasmine, grapefruit pith, earth, melon, peach, candied orange peel, booze. Doesn't really taste like most galaxy-hopped brews I've had. Very distinctive tea-like character. Quite bitter
F -- Medium+ mouthfeel, medium carb. Decent amount of juicy sweetness, but not syrupy. No fluffiness. A hair too bitter
O -- Nice tropical character imparted by the hops, but unfortunately somewhat obscured by the black tea bitterness that was present throughout the sip. Great aromas
79/100
