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.

Pours hazy gold into a tulip. Bright white head with medium retention recedes leaving spider lacing to coat surface. Tropical fruit, farmhouse and resin aromas. Soft with grass, caramel and toffee upfront turning to passionfruit and mango before the lasting citrus pith finish.

32 oz growler tossed via courtesy of Dr. Shithead. Thanks! It’s about fucken time that someone outside of the MA Homer Society got a crack at this one. Pours a milky yellow orange appearance with a white head and seemingly nice carbonation. Wow, the Galaxy hops are amazing in the nose. Big oniony, garlic, lemon/grapefruity, dry cracker aroma. Smells very inviting. Mouth feel is a bit sticky. Dry cracker, very easy drinking, super herbal/dank/oniony hoppy flavor. I’m not sure I get as much citrus as some of the other ratings. I guess the hops remind me more of a dank, grapefruity flavor of Amarillo. Anyhow, super easy to drink and very clean. I’m definitely a fan. Real chill courtesy offering just then via Louise. (Note: originally tasted on 12/13/13 but moving it to the correct place now on 10/26/14).

Growler sample from, I think, sonnycheeba, thanks! Dry hopped Galaxy version. Huge bright pine aroma. Tasty, earthy, dank taste. Love it.
