Collective Arts Surround Sound 003: Simcoe, Galaxy, & Columbus

Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 8 | Flavor: 8 | Overall: 9

473 ml can, as Collective Arts Liquid Arts Festival Series Surround Sound V.3 (Columbus, Simcoe & Galaxy), from Bestofbeers, Denmark. ABV is 8.2%. Hazy golden colour, moderate white head. Strong and pleasant hoppy aroma, notes of citrus, tropical fruits and pine. The flavour is refreshing (for its strength), notes of said fruits and pine again, balanced by a moderate malty sweetness. The bitterness is moderate though.

Second one for me for the Surround Sound - Liquid Art Festival Series. Pours a cloudy yellow-orange colour with an off-white frothy cap, decent stay and some thick foamy lace-base. Citrus nose with mostly oranges, their juices, peel, with some peppery note from the Columbus hops. The Galaxy ones give hints of tropical fruits. The alcohol is felt in the nose and mouth. Has a warming touch. Flavours of citrus zest with lingering dryness. The bitterness is fairly short. A touch of liquorice. Mostly dark greens. Alright, but not my thing with some of these hops.

The beer pours a heavily hazed orange-gold colour with a thin white ring for a head. The aroma is grass, tropical fruit, lots of citrus, and a hint of spice. The mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is boiled vegetables with a hint of grass. There is some fruity sweetness, but not much. The finish is a weak bitter hop bitye with some citrus peel in the mix.
