Introducing Galactic Ghost - a double-haze monster from outer space that delivers out-of-this-world flavors of tropical fruit straight from an intergalactic paradise of our dreams. We loaded this cosmic creation with a generous DDH Ghost-levels of Galaxy, Citra, and Strata hops, creating layers of juicy passionfruit, ripe pineapple, and electric citrus wrapped in a smooth, resinous haze.
Think of it as DDH Ghost in the Machine's cosmic evolution - big, soft, and more tropical than the original. The Galaxy hops bring stone fruit and citrus, Citra adds that signature mango punch, and Strata rounds it out with dank, fruity complexity. Balanced and pleasantly smooth despite its size, this 8% ABV interstellar DIPA goes down easier than you'd expect.

Canned 12/11/25, drunk 1/15/26, as pictured.
Really intense, big aromatics right upon pouring. Big, floral Galaxy with a christmas spice-like potpourri character and dry pineapple from the Strata. Citra ties it together, somewhat, adding softer citrus and tropical fruit, but it remains quite bold and spicy. Malts seem ample, with deep biscuit and white bread. No alcohol, resin, flaw noted.
A lot more mild and less intensely spicy/perfume-like than the nose would suggest. An earthiness, as well as softer, juicy citrus helps see to this, as does a lighter texture allowing a bit more looseness and drinkability instead of thick, intense malt and hop character. Pretty impressively balanced and really showing just about zero problematic Galaxy traits, which is impressive. Another classic Ghost.
