Galactic Broken Heels

Tap to rate

Hazy IPA at 7% ABV: Broken Heels heavily dry hopped with Galaxy hops. The result adds big notes of juicy peach and orange zest, balanced by an earthy dankness. A cosmic detour from the Citra-and-Mosaic original, brewed by New Trail in Williamsport, Pennsylvania. Made with limestone-rich northern Pennsylvania water.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with bright, juicy peach and candied orange zest, driven by the Galaxy hop character. Beneath these fruits lies an earthy, herbal undertone—a dank, slightly resinous quality that anchors the aromatics. Subtle malt sweetness supports the profile without dominating, allowing the hop expression to remain the focal point.

Tulip glass

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
