Galactic Storm is an Imperial IPA that pushes the concept of our Citra and Simcoe based Double IPA 'Storm' family! Featuring an enormous dry hop, it features hops we have spent years learning to understand and select from our friends out in the Pacific Northwest. It's been a fun beer as a concept, and challenges your palate with hop oil saturated notes of tropical fruit, citrus, and overripe guava. A sipper, be sure to let it warm and express itself in the glass. Enjoy!

IPA - Imperial / Double IPA
Megaton Fruit bomb of grave, stony fruits, dry mango, and citrus rind. The Storm combo of Pacific Northwest hops: Simcoe and Citra is utilized to the max of dry hopping freshness and complexity. Beautiful lacing. Darkest mango nose. Juicy and dry! Top Shelf per usual. Very epic.

Pours a hazy golden orange with a finger and a half of foamy head that slowly dissipates to a thin ring with some lacing. Aroma of pineapple and tropical fruit. Taste follows nose.

16oz can dated 3/28/24.
Pours cloudy gold with an inch-plus head of white. Plenty of tattered lacing and persistent retention. Papaya, mango, pineapple in the nose. Medium bodied with a soft mouthfeel. Ripe tropicals on the palate with minimal malt and a firm bitterness. Mango, orange, pineapple. Finishes juicy.

16oz can served in a curvy Monhegan pint glass. Can is dated 03/28/2024. Received from @Roguer in NBS BIF #18.
Pours very murky whitish amber with a relatively small head, maybe 1cm max. Settles slowly into a thick skin and a hearty meniscus that goes right to the rim of the glass. Smell is bright citrus rind and vitamin C pellets, maybe there's a hint of booze and grain back behind it, but that's clearly the dominant note.
Taste is boozy, lots of very ripe to overripe tropical fruit, maybe a little bit of melon. Strong mango skin bitterness follows late, a light honeysuckle note comes in somewhere along the way.
Mouthfeel is surprisingly thin with a little bit of a watery texture, though it definitely has a noticeable dose of chalkiness to it. Overall, this is a very nice IPA.

Sampled this just three days removed from its canning date. Super freshie!!!
Perfect Storm ranks among my favorite TH beers. My hope was that it's bigger brother would be even stormier.
Sure enough, the nose on Galactic has even bolder notes of citrus and melons than Perfect. The same holds for the flavor profile with its bold citrus and piney bitter notes. The body is also super hefty for a TH offering.
The alcohol is kept well in check for an almost 9% offering. I love this huge beer!

This one pours a very hazy golden orange color, with a small head, and lots of lacing.
This smells like very ripe guava, lemon candy, passionfruit, tropical fruit, and orange.
This tastes like an exotic orange creamsicle, with like bits of guava and passionfruit mixed in. There’s very little bitterness, and no maltiness.
This is very creamy, and very drinkable, with a long smooth finish.
Tree House makes so many different beers at this point, and so many of them are tasty.

Poured into a 13 oz Teku glass canned on 8/2/23. Pours a very attractive hazy yellow orange with a half finger sticky white head that leaves a wall of lace with excellent retention. 4.75
Aroma is mandarin, peach, mango, pineapple, papaya, honeydew, and apricot. 4.75
Taste follows mandarin, peach, pineapple, papaya, mango, honeydew, and apricot, amazing balance. 4.75
Mouthfeel is big, soft gentle almost creamy carbonation, not sticky or dry, and at 8.8% it has enormous flavor, but easy going down. 5
Overall I am loving this sauce. The discovery I made on Thursday, about Tewksbury Tree House being only 15 minutes from my final stop on Thursdays could be dangerous. Top shelf stuff, as I have come to expect. 4.75
