This version of our signature American pale ale is dry hopped with the pungent Galaxy variety. Enticingly hazy and blonde in appearance with frothy carb, the nose erupts with strong citrus, passion fruit, and pineapple aromatics. Upfront and resinous hop-derived flavors of grapefruit pith, peach, and mango are balanced with a subtle, bready malt character and mild, subdued bitterness.

750ml bottle pours a hazy yellow gold with some creamy, lacing white head. Nose is solid, lots of tropical fruit, guava, some under ripened pineapple, some mango, orange, tangerine, grassy, a little sour cream and chive dip too. Flavor is very smooth, grassy, straw, citrus zest, enough honey notes from the malt to keep it easy, lots of tropical fruit though, a little fruit cocktail. Finishes lightly bitter and oddly a little creamy.

75cl bottle sample @ lucha libre night comes to LeRoeulx. Thanks Steven. Orangée, col crémeux blanc. Arôme offre une agréable profondeur houblonnée oscillant entre agrumes et notes majestueuses d’aiguilles de pin et de notes tropicales. Palais est simple, direct et sans compromis, houblonné plein de Galaxy, tropical avec un côté forestier. Malt au caractère pâle et pils restant en balance pour mettre à l’honneur ce houblon.

Bottle thanks going to Eric A. on this bad ass brew. Aroma of garlic, scallions and leafy green hops giving a stinky weed dankness. Flavor is just flat out good! Starts with thick juicy fruit that turns into a mildly danky weed, onion and grassy hints. The texture turns dry that has a very refreshing, crisp finish. Limber Galaxy hops that has a very low bitterness level. Damn, this is awesome....

Bomber, 2 days old. Very hazy bright orange with a 1 finger big bubbly head. The aroma is insane. Insanely juicy galaxy hops, tangerine, citrus, grapefruit and a little sweet bread dough. Taste is great. Mouthfeel is good but not a juicy or bright as I was expecting. It’s herbal, juicy, grapefruit and tangerine. Really interesting beer and absolutely delicious.

Bottle thanks to Reynolds314. Pours cloudy amber, medium creamy off-white head, dissipates slowly, nice lacing. Aroma is dank and topical, some green onion and pot notes. Flavor follows, light sweet, light bitter, hella juicy, dank, weedy, tropical, not harsh at all. Medium body, creamy mouthfeel. Winner!

Thanks, mikeyv35. This beer is simply wonderful. I loved Fort Point, and this version kicks things up a notch. The beer is cloudy and orange-ish yellow. The head is big and white. Tons of lacing and excellent retention. The aroma is full of delicious fruit. Big peach, pineapple, tangerine, grape, mango, guava, lime. Light pale malt character. The taste is chock full of hop flavor. Dry, yeasty finish. Moderate to medium bitterness in the finish. Big, fresh tropical fruit hop character. Gentle full mouthfeel. It’s fresh and soft and full of flavor. Absolutely wonderful stuff.

Pours with a nice head. The nose shows mostly subtle tropical tones. The palate also shows a lot of the same with a very tame bitterness. The flavors are much more subtle and definitely shows itself as a derivative of the original. Regardless, I’d recommend this fresh as possible and chilled for a summer day. The bottle would easily finish itself.
