Galaxy Cutting Tiles

Tap to rate

Galaxy Cutting Tiles opens with a surge of tropical fruit—pineapple and mango lead, trailed by a fresh citrus presence that carries straight through the flavor. The body arrives pillowy soft, a textural counterpoint to the juicy front, while wildflower honey runs underneath as a floral, earthy thread that keeps the whole beer light and drinkable. The finish pulls back into restrained bitterness, letting the honey and citrus linger without heaviness. At 8.5%, this Double IPA reads more aperitif than bombastic—a beer for the late afternoon when you want complexity without demand.
