Picked up a 4 pack of this back in the summer of 2019. Cool pop culture reference bro. Label worth .25 in the appearance score.
Pours a murky gold/light orange color, beer struggled to maintain a head formation. Galaxy and Strata seem to be the dry hop hops, usual pineapple note from Galaxy, Strata brings the mixture of weed and guava.
Taste is another easy banger from Moonraker and Melvin, two breweries who excel at the saturated hop game. Pineapple still seems to be the strongest flavor, but its divied up between the hops giving a light blackberry, guava, weed hit alongside but in smaller proportions than the pineapple. Bitterness is mild relative to the strength of the beer that isn't noticeable at all until the buzz kicks in, wouldn't know it from the taste or mouth feel. Its murky, but it doesn't have that overly flabby flocced out haze trub feel to it, possibly in part to what feels like a 50ibu range.
Its very good and the expectations were high given the breweries involved, but I left satisfied.

Canned 7/26/19; drank 8/7/19 @ the Carriage Inn.
Cloudy, dull orange/yellow appearance.
A rough pour yielded a huge off-white head; nice, frothy lace.
Sweet pineapple, cane sugar & mild wheat notes in the nose.
Medium mouthfeel.
Mild flavors of pineapple, cream & wheat.
Nice on a hot day, but the nose was better than the flavor.
