Unique

Started on Ratebeer in 2002. Never a huge ticker but have become more interested in trying smaller sample sizes of more beers lately. Current tasting group meets bi-monthly: tfontana, Airforcehops (CLW) and Chalumeaux, occasionally with AdamChandler and Jow. If you're ever in the MA/NH area, reach out! *Disclaimer* I rate N/A beers on a N/A beer scale. Not a scale vs non-N/A beers. So an 8.5 rating of an N/A beer does not mean I think it is equivalent to an 8.5 real beer.

8.5

Clarkvv (16523) reviewed Galactic Ghost from Parish Brewing Company 1 month ago

Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 8 | Flavor - 9 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 9

Canned 12/11/25, drunk 1/15/26, as pictured.
Really intense, big aromatics right upon pouring. Big, floral Galaxy with a christmas spice-like potpourri character and dry pineapple from the Strata. Citra ties it together, somewhat, adding softer citrus and tropical fruit, but it remains quite bold and spicy. Malts seem ample, with deep biscuit and white bread. No alcohol, resin, flaw noted.
A lot more mild and less intensely spicy/perfume-like than the nose would suggest. An earthiness, as well as softer, juicy citrus helps see to this, as does a lighter texture allowing a bit more looseness and drinkability instead of thick, intense malt and hop character. Pretty impressively balanced and really showing just about zero problematic Galaxy traits, which is impressive. Another classic Ghost.
