Double Dry Hopped Small Galaxy Everything
Other Half Brewing - Center Street

Cloudy yellow. Big, white head. Citrus, mango, and melon are in the aroma. Moderate bitterness in taste. Juicy and easy to drink. A very good, dialed-down option.

 

Rereviewed 21/12/28 - bumping up some of the ratings as I tried to average out both of my reviews.

Brew at the Brooklyn, NY facility (black tab). Canned 21/10/05 (BK). A very lovely purple metallic label. Poured into a small-stemmed tulip.

A balanced APA, satisfying, and almost thirst quenching. 3.75

A – Pours a cloudy opaque brownish yellow (-) with a two-finger rocky head. Very good lacing. 3.5

S – Aromas of citrus and pineapple followed by spiciness and flower blossoms to a less extent. Aroma is much more citrusy than the taste. 4.0

T – A balanced IPA with more of a malty cracker flavor, some lemony citrus, resinous with low to no sweetness. Not a juice bomb. Resiny and herbaceous in the finish. No perceived alcohol. 3.75

MF – Medium body with a smooth dry finish. The bitterness is close to astringency (-). 3.5

-----------

Poured into a small stemmed tulip. A mildly citrusy glass of acerbic cardboard. 3.0

A - Pours opaque almost slushee-like solids, yellowish white (-).Great three finger off white head with even better lacing (+). 3.75

S - Pineapple and citrusy. 3.75

T - Mildly Citrusy, but bland with a odd hoppy herbal bitterness. Malt, black tea and cardboard. No sweetness.

MF - Medium-light body, smooth but coating and chalky with a dry acidic finish.

Pours cloudy orange/good color with a foamy 2 finger thick head that faded slowly and left excellent lacing coating the sides of the glass. Smells of tangerine, orange peel, pineapple, melon, faint peach, herbs, mild peppery spices, earthy notes and tropical fruit. Not much in the way of malt, but a good aroma.

Tastes as good as it smells with tangerine, orange peel, pineapple, melon, grapes, peach, dry hop accents like tea leaf, herbs, mild peppery spices, piney notes and then trailing bitter flavors like grapefruit juice, old musty papers and graham crackers. Nice complex mix of flavors for a single hop brew.

Pours a hazy yellow color with hints of orange. A moderate sized creamy head retains well and leaves lacing.

Tropical aromas evoke notes of passion fruit, mango and papaya. Bright citrus notes of lemon and orange pair well with modest herbal notes of grass and verbena.

Opens silky smooth with a juicy palate. A bready and crackery malt base quickly makes way for hops flavors and spices. Very fruity with notes of soft tropical fruit, particularly, passion fruit. Also, notes of papaya, guava, peach and orange. The bitterness is gentle and subtle and has a lightly peppery, grassy and earthy quality.

Medium bodied with a smooth and soft mouthfeel. The finish is dry. The carbonation is moderate to gentle and on par.

Nice profile of the galaxy hops. I would have this again.

Decanted from a 16 oz (473 ml) can into a small goblet; canned 04/07/21.
A: Pours an opaque, yellow orange color with a one finger, foamy white head, fairly brief retention, and sticky rings of lacing.
S: Aromas a barley, orange > grapefruit, herbs, even an earthiness, and honey.
T: More semisweet than semidry. Flavor large clementines and OrangAde®. Light, refreshing bitterness.
M: Light to medium bodied with light to moderate carbonation. Creamy and smooth.
O: Really like this one: thanks for correcting the oversight. Very crushable.

 

A: Poured from the can into a tulip glass. Body is hazy yellow with a half-finger of milkshakey-looking frothy white head.

S: Good nose - jumps from the glass: fruity tropical fruit salad. Pineapple, ripe peaches, apricot and melon.

T: Good flavors of tropical fruit (pineapple, melon, papaya) and ripe peaches. Also white grape skins and a bit of lighter citrus. Finishes with good bitterness to offset the sweeter fruity flavors.

M: Good juicy NEIPA. Medium in heft, pretty creamy in feel.

O: This one is quite good.

 

 

Hazy neon yellow with a white collar and spotted lacing. Dank and leafy hops open up aromas of pineapple, grapefruit, peach, and melon. Taste is softer and ripe with the fruit, add some grape to boot, but the hop bitters are the star for most of the sip: leafy, piney, dank, and straight up cutting and exploding bitter hops make this ipa have a real punch. Feel is well hopped but has a solid backbone of soft haze considering the style. One of the better single ipas I have had in awhile

 

Tasted in a Spiegelau IPA glass from a one pint can on November 29, 2020.

 

Hazy opaque chicken broth, brownish orange, ample foam, spotty lacing all around the glass. Broken surface skim after a few minutes. Pungent hop funk, fresh cut botanicals, papaya, hop resins. Lighter body with a creamy texture, fruity notes of papaya and jackfruit, nice hop bitterness present to balance the sweetness. Overall this was really good, thanks to Thomas for this one!

 

16oz undated can shipped from OH.

Pours milky yellow with a two inch head of dense white. Tattered sheets of lacing after the retreat with decent retention. Pungently hoppy in the nose with peach, white grapes, and pineapple. Medium bodied with a creamy, soft, luscious mouthfeel. Juicy, resinous tropicals on the palate. Orange, peach, mango, and pineapple. Finishes fairly dry beyond the juicy citrus with minimal malt or bitterness.

 

This one pours a fairly hazy golden yellow color, with a big fluffy head, and lots of lacing.

This smells like candied peach, passionfruit, grapefruit, pine, and marijuana.

I think Galaxy hops are still my favorite, and this is a nice use of them. It's very citrusy and tropical, with some marijuana and pine and whatnot.

This is light bodied, and very creamy, and very drinkable.

As basically always, I prefer OH's lower ABV IPAs.
