Interstellar Galactic IPA
A big West Coast-style IPA brewed only with Galaxy hops, a variety from Australia. It began when the brewery invited homebrewer Joe Yoder, whose setup is called Interstellar Galactic Brewery, to brew a 500-gallon batch with his crew. After much dry hopping the aroma shows tropical fruit and a touch of dankness, and the body is light and sharp.
