Defender of the intergalactic downtrodden, conqueror of bad beers and long-winded evildoers, Galactica soars with ease from one star system to the next. Her dual-hop staff disperses justice, freedom, and intense hop flavor. Dry hopped with Galaxy Hops, this Double IPA balances a hop profile of light bitterness and notes of tropical fruit, citrus, and pine with a clean malt backbone.

(Can) Cloudy amber colour with frothy, tan head. Fruity, hoppy nose with notes of dried apricots, resin, rye bread, mango and orange marmalade. Hoppy, malty taste with dried apricots, resin, rye bread, mango, orange peel and a generous resiny/spicy bitterness in the finish. More than medium body, with a slight sweetness. Rich and hoppy, with a smooth mouthfeel. Very nice.

Mörkt gyllengul vätska med tjock skumkrona. Arom av kåda, tallbarr och citrusfrukter. Hög maltig sötma som rundas av med en tropisk beska. Gräddig munkänsla med en medium munfyllighet och lätt eldigt avslut.

Can from Beer Republic. Clear orange, small, frothy, white head. Aroma of orange peel, blood orange, mango, pine resin, biscuit, honey, pineapple, some apricot. Taste has sweet apricot, peach and orange around a bitter core of citrus peel, grapefruit & pine, kept together by honeyish and biscuity malts. Resinous hoppy finish, grapefruity, citrusy, softer notes of mango and biscuit, dry and bitter. Medium body, oily texture, soft carbonation. Excellent classic-style IPA.
