Galaxy Dry Hopped True New Englander

◎ Appearance

Galaxy Dry Hopped True New Englander presents a hazy deep golden yellow, turbid from suspended yeast and hop matter characteristic of the New England style. The body holds moderate carbonation with a soft, pillowy head that disperses gradually. Lacing clings gently to the glass, marking each sip with delicate foam residue.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with striking piña colada intensity—coconut and ripe tropical fruit dominate the first impression. Beneath this broad tropical foundation sit bright pineapple and passion fruit juice notes, complemented by pungent citrus undertones that ground the aromatic profile. A characteristic coconut thread weaves throughout, creating a harmonious bridge between stone fruit sweetness and subtle hop resin.

◐ Taste

Full-bodied and plush on entry, the palate delivers an incredibly juicy character that drinks more like fermented tropical juice than a traditional Double IPA's typical assertiveness. Galaxy hops contribute a soft, fruity bitterness that integrates seamlessly with the malt backbone rather than dominating it. Mid-palate remains wet and generous, sustaining tropical fruit flavours without harsh tannins or sharp edges.

◑ Finish

The finish extends wet and inviting, leaving a sustained tropical fruit impression without astringency. The lingering sweetness and gentle bitterness create an easy drinking rhythm that compels another sip.

Serve at 8–11°C for the best flavour balance and aroma expression.

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