The two most potent hops of the Southern Hemisphere collide in this sticky and tropical haze bomb. Galaxy brings the heat with huge tangerine flesh and passion fruit aromas while Nelson fills it out with pineapple and incredibly delectable white wine grape notes. A winning combination in all of the multiverses.

Beautiful nose with mangoes, onions, OJ. Fairly bitter for the style. I love The nose but don’t like the hybrid beers so much. Still good for what it is.

Poured from a can purchased at Ale Arsenal. Pours a hazed honeycomb with full, bright white head that lingers throughout. Aroma is dank, pineapple and grape must. Apricot shows as it warms. Flavor is sauce blanc, lemon and tropics. A bit of a thin mouthfeel, but overall a great beer.

Poured from a 16 oz can dated August 01, 2022. Aroma is very hop forward and oily with huge notes of gooseberry, guava, tropical citrus and passion fruit. Light cracker malt notes and hints of alcohol. Pours a hazy, dull, golden straw color with a large, thick, pillowy, white head that recedes slowly to a small film that lingers in clumps on the edges. Fairly high amount of lacing and small legs. Flavor is somewhat sweet with light cracker malt notes. Moderately strong bitterness with light alcohol notes. Fairly strong hop notes that are quite dank, but a bit less fruity than in the aroma. Decent amounts of gooseberry, guava and passion fruit with tropical citrus being a bit stronger than in the aroma. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a super solid IPA that has really great hop aromas. The mouthfeel and malt profile are light and work well with the hops while managing to hide the alcohol.
