At Galaxy High, the beer has 120 IBUs, 10.2% ABV yet finishes nice and dry. Join two Australian hops as you encounter a crazy collection of tropical and dank flavors throughout this Imperial IPA. It’s big on your palate… disruptive even. Think 'trophic cascades' disruptive.

Redish copper color. Nose is piney with a sweet hint. Pours with slight head. Taste is where the magic happens. Bitterness and sweetness, but ever so slightly. Backside is bitternesss that embraces the mouth! Great beer.

Pours a deep amber color with a thick cap of sticky white head.
Aroma of stone fruit, mango, earthy pine, and a little honey.
Flavor is bold and fruity up front with apricot, mango, and pineapple. Finishes dry with a dank pine bitterness.
Mouthfeel is smooth and full with good carbonation.
Overall a delicious DIPA that separates itself from the others in flavor and quality.

I got a 4pck of this beer from my local beer store just around the corner. It poured a slightly hazy orangish with white head that is leaving some lace. The scent had subtle dank stone fruit notes. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with a mix of bright citrus and dank stone fruit presence. The mouthfeel was fuller in body and had good carbonation. Overall it is a solid beer.

L: Dull amber. Super hazy, a honey hue. Very frothy.

S: Easy nose. An herbal citrus smell. Bready and tangy underneath.

T: An array of tangelo, mango, apricot, a bit of peel, then finishing as an earthy, slightly coniferous, bitter flavor, with lupulin on the finish.

F: Dank and very nice.

O: A great Imperial.

look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4
Appearance: Pours a slightly hazy honey color with a two finger head; good persistence and webs of lacing

Smell: Dank and piney, with a strong bitter tone

Taste: A little biscuity, up front, with the dank, piney hops taking over in the mid-palate and bringing a high degree of bitterness to the finish

Mouthfeel: Medium body with moderate carbonation

Overall: Not getting much of the tropical element here but this is a good West Coast style IPA

Thanks, Manta200, for the opportunity

L: Dull amber. Super hazy, very frothy.

S: Easy nose. An herbal citrus smell. Bready and tangy underneath.

T: It resembles a Citra hopped ale--but seeing as how Citra is patented brand name, they're actually galaxy hops--Which taste like orange, mango, apricot, a bit of peel, then finishing as a very Earthy, bitter flavor, with lots of lupulin on the finish. It tastes like actual hops were used vs. pellets.

F: Dank and resinous lupulin finish. Very nice. It's a sipper not because of the flavor, but because it will get you hammered quick if you don't.

O: MadTree isn't cutting corners. Try their Ziegler Octoberfest if you can find it.

Pours a hazy dull orange color small white bar pour head great lace. Fruity nose almost hazy fruity with some dankness underneath. Tastes is nice tropical fruits, grapefruit rind, earthy notes and dank musty pine needles. Like it smells fruity but had old fashioned bitterness to go with it. Mouthfeel is medium nice malt body smooth carbonation. Overall it's good IPA not sure it's world class but good.
