Pours a dense opaque yellow, plenty of head with off white yellow colour.
Smell is citrus, pineapple, touch of lychee.
Taste is the same, certain grassy bitterness there.
Feel is too fizzy, to be rated higher than 4.25, should be creamier.

Many thx to The_Kriek_Freak for this can!
A - Opaque bright golden tan hue with thin yet very dense white lacing.
S - Intense, dank aroma that permeates with citrus, citrus rind, pineapple, passion fruit, and juicy grapefruit (with a little tropical fruit on there as well).
T - Flavor is every bit as intense (if not more so). Massive shots of juicy red grapefruit, citrus, spicy tropical fruit rind, peach, mango, pineapple, passion fruit, and ends with just the right amount of bitterness to balance things out.
M - Big chewy body that's pillowy soft and finishes bone dry.
O - It really doesn't get much better than this when it comes to a New England style hazy.

Pours super thick and with hardly any carbonation due to the immense thickness. The aroma is pure tropical craziness. Mango, papaya, and some citrus too. Tastes quite sweet but overall decently balanced due to some bitter hops that come through. Very thick mouthfeel. A nice beer but definitely I could not drink more than one.

On tap, pours a hazy, slightly milky orange. Smell is citrusy with tropical fruits. Taste follows, with a very good balance of malt sweetness to slightly resinous hops. A good one.

L -- Opaque and milky straw-gold. Half finger of dense white head that retains and laces well
S -- White peach, mango, papaya, kumquat, orange zest, bit of pale malt creaminess. Last year's galaxy crop was maybe a bit sub-par and this is no exception, but they do a good job
T -- Big, punchy, and tropical with a good amount of rindy citrus and oaty creaminess
F -- Has that characteristic Fidens "pulpy" mouthfeel, kinda halfway between Trillium and Tree House
86/100
