    G+S, do we go crazy and buy 12 or just get 4?

    I can tell you tomorrow. Too much work/childcare to try yet. Apologies, because people on this board have been helpful. But I assume it'll last the weekend. Early reviews I've seen don't indicate people going nuts over it. But it's probably on the more bitter side relative to the melon offerings so I'd expect that.

    I should clarify this is what I heard from two friends who did try it and the minimal Untappd don't have exclamation points. They're pils people I heard from though and don't drink much other half so...

    Yeah I was going to say, the small number of Untappd checkins certainly lack the usual OH inflation

    I didn’t make it down yesterday but plan to walk there this afternoon

    Guys it’s galaxy. Don’t get me wrong, I’m intrigued. But we’ve been hurt many times in the last year. To those testing the waters for the greater good - thank you for your service, travel safely, and be sure to double bag

    Citra Galaxy is drinking insanely good right now and has been over the last week and a half. My order arrived earlier and I'm really excited to get into these Strata+Galaxy.

    Also some things I've been meaning to post since having a kid two weeks ago and now being immersed in @Xerlic 's book on parenting:

    I procured some All Simcoe Everything and while it's nice and perhaps easier to drink than Forever Simcoe, I prefer Forever Simcoe.

    Again, Citra Galaxy is drinking really, really nice. It was missing something initially but has melded into a great beer. Even at this point, I still make the mistake of drinking these cans too green; damn you refrigerator constraint!

    G is for green is quite pleasant, though generically Other Half. I swear it's a good thing!

    Hop Monsoon was really tasty at the 5 week or so mark. It had plenty of smooth melon, but not overly so.

    Right on! Though I feel like the melon was not as advertised. I've got 2 cans left and will revisit, but previous batches of The Other Day have been absolute melon bombs, but the potential of Galaxy Strata (and recent success of Citra+Strata and Citra+Galaxy) made me pass on TOD.

    Citra is kind of a pretty name and then we could always nickname her, "Ace."
