Poured from an undated can into a tulip glass

Pours a pale opaque lemonade to dandelion yellow with a finger and a half of foamy white head that disapates to a light cover with a lasting ring. A little sticky lace stuck to the sides of the glass.

Aroma is a bit sweet and funky, punchy orange juice and passion fruit lead the way, grapefruit comes in with a touch of tart lime melding with general tropical notes.

The taste really matches the nose with a creamy lime character really shining through. Citrus pith picking up nicely on the back end

Light to medium light body with a fairly low carbonation, tropical sweetness meshes nicely with the pithy citrus bitterness and the creamy mouthfeel make a very easy drinking dipa.

Overall I appreciate the bitterness that balances the sweetness, I do find the last couple equilibrium DIPAs I've tried to be on the sweet, bordering sugary side but this one has a bit more dryness. It's enjoyable enough that I'd come back to it. Three great breweries, I'd like to see a Mortalis or Tin Barn version of a beer like this.

Poured from a can stamped 2/17/26 into a tulip glass

Pours a murky opaque gold to orange with almost two fingers of tight fluffy white head that settles rather quickly to nice blanket on top of the beer. It leaves a lot thick sticky lace as it settles.

The aroma is wheat cereal flakes, fresh squeezed orange juice, grapefruit rind, tropical passion fruit. As it warms you get a bit more ripe pineapple and a bit of earth and pine coming through.

Taste very much follows the nose but that earthiness kind of runs throughout. Sweet ripe pineapple, fresh orange juice and passion fruit meld into a tropical trifecta, the citrus rind bitterness moves in after the initial sweetness and leans into that pine a bit toward the end. The wheat is present and

Medium bodied with a moderate amount of carbonation, it's fairly smooth with the pithy bitterness balancing the sweetness. It is a sipper but one that has you keeping it close by. Fairly dry on the finish with lingering pithy citrus bitterness.

Overall it's a rather complex for a single hop double new england IPA, it's a nice showcase of galaxy hops and one I'd gladly revisit again.

Flarra hos Frida o Totte. Härlig doft av hav o vanilj. Smaken så jäla krämoäig. Mycket vanilj o kokos o pecannöt. Lagom sötma o lååång eftersmak. Riktig god ned tanke på att den inte är fatlagrad. 11% Mycket god
