I'm pretty happy with this beer. It has all the tropical and citrus fruit notes I want from the galaxy but it also seems to have a slight pine/grassy/green hop pellet character which I'm liking a lot. The body is medium light, finishes semi dry and has a lingering bitterness. It held the carbonation decently well but it's definitely a bit more carbed coming out of the tap. Let me know what you think!

You should be happy with this one, it is a great IPA! I get some citrus (orange/grapefruit) and also pineapple in the aroma. Flavour is a full tropical fruity burst, followed by more bitter orange peel and then a longer edge-of-the-tongue bitterness. Obviously a bitter finish, but that aside, the balance is very good, I think. This is the first one (other than mine last night) that I've since being home, so I shared it with a Dad too. He enjoyed it very much and asked that I send you his compliments. We were both surprised at the ABV, because it is not apparent at all...not an easy thing to do. Thanks for sharing this with us, Alex!

Alex this is a very refreshing beer. I also got orange and pineapple in the aroma with both in the flavour as well as a generally tropical fruitiness. In the aroma and flavour I also get the malt presence, maybe from the munich but I almost smell a noble character to it. The bitterness is really really firm but its clean and works with the tropical flavours. Great beer! Thanks!

Sorry, drank this one but didn’t have time to post. A very solid west coast IPA with lots of intense grapefruit and orange peel in the aroma that come though in the flavour. Bitterness is quite high but has some decent maltiness to back it up. Overall a nice hoppy beer that was super clean. Thanks Alex!
