355ml can - this is the 'Galaxy Edition', presumably because it is single-hopped, as such.

This beer pours a murky, medium apricot yellow colour, with three fingers of puffy, rocky, and bubbly dirty white head, which leaves some high-soaring cirrus cloud pattern lace around the glass as it rather lazily recedes.

It smells of gritty and grainy cereal malt, some orange, red grapefruit, and lemon citrus rind, a hard water flintiness, and more leafy, herbal, and resinous piney green hop bitters. The taste is bready and doughy caramel malt, some mixed citrus and tropical fruitiness, a damp minerality, and more leafy, floral, and piney verdant hoppiness.

The carbonation is adequate in its palate-coating frothiness, the body a decent middleweight, and generally smooth, with a wee airy creaminess evolving as things warm up a tad around here. It finishes trending dry, the hops exhibiting some strong lingering bitterness (I wonder who pissed in their Corn Flakes this morning).

Overall - this comes across as a pleasant enough version of the style, with the Galaxy varietal doing well to shoulder the load. Crisp, edgy, and easy to put back as I await yet another bloody snowstorm and the attendant shoveling madness.
