Galactic Thoughts is an assertive Double IPA that showcases a vibrant, multi-layered hop profile driven by Galaxy, Mosaic, and Citra. The aroma is saturated with high-intensity notes of passionfruit, blueberry, and bright grapefruit, supported by a clean, neutral malt base. On the palate, the interplay of these specific hops delivers a wave of tropical stone fruit and citrus zest, balanced by a firm yet smooth bitterness that avoids harshness. Despite its hazy appearance, the beer maintains the characteristic dry finish of the style, offering a lingering resinous aftertaste and a gentle alcohol warmth that complements its medium body.
Appearance.Deep gold to light orange; hazy clarity. Features a moderate-sized, persistent, off-white head with excellent lacing.
Aroma.High intensity. Dominated by tropical fruit (passionfruit, mango) and citrus (grapefruit, lime) with secondary notes of blueberry and a hint of pine. Low, grainy malt sweetness is purely supportive. Clean fermentation profile.
Taste.Powerful hop flavors reflecting the tropical and citrus aroma. Medium-high bitterness is present but smooth. Low, bready malt character supports the hop load without adding significant sweetness. The finish is medium-dry with a lingering hop-derived resin and citrus pith character.
Mouthfeel.Medium body with a smooth, soft texture. Moderate carbonation. A subtle, well-integrated alcohol warmth is present at 8.5% ABV. No significant astringency.
