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.

Bottle at home watching some straight to in demand Bruce Willis movie. Deep orange pour one finger head. Nose is malty and some citrus. Tastes of malt, caramel, oranges, pineapple, dough, plenty piney and earthy. Fuller bodied. Fairly bitter and touch of sweetness

bottle - Pours light amber and has a fruity, resinous aroma. The flavor is of course big on the hops bitterness. It’s loaded with fruit character as tropical and citrus flavors come through nicely. That’s joined by some resin notes and a solid malt backbone. Very good.

Flaske fra Kihoskh, på hytta: dyp og vakker oransjerød farge med flott skum som varer. Intens og balansert aroma og smak av appelsinmarmelade, grapefrukt og andre citrusfrukter sammen med en kraftig maltkeopp som gir assosiasjoner til honning. Lekker bitterhet i avslutningen. En sann fornøyelse fra første til siste dråpe.

Thanks Tyler for sharing the bottle! Poured into a snifter showing moderately filtered golden honey with sparse white foam. The nose shows light notes of orange and subtle. The palate is well carbonated and light bodied. Juicy flavors of orange and papaya with a lightly sharp IPA bitterness on the finish. Resurgence of the bitterness on the finish.

Bottle at The Blind Tiger, Shrewsbury, Friday 26th August 2016 Clear gold with a nice sparkle and a nice white head. Fruity nose, juicy in the mouth, a much more swiggable beer than my Clown Shoes Galactica. Tropical in mouth and on the nose. Really nice. A8 A4 T7 P4 Ov15 3.8

355ml bottle @ Chez Sophie, Shrewsbury. Pours murky brown, thin off-white head. Aroma is resinous orange. Taste is quite heavy on the crystal malt with some sticky honey, caramel & resinous pine. A bit of a muddle really.
