Hazy sunset orange ale with a stark white fluffy head. Strong fruity hop nose. West coast styled at its heart, grapefruit included, but there's something a bit different about it.
A little research at the Tallgrass website reveals that hop rocketed Galaxy hops from Australia serve as the base for the aroma with Magnum, Centennial and Cascade in support. Taste has a pretty harsh bitterness alongside a more subdued fruitiness. Sweet, full bodied malt base for the hoppiness to float above.
I seem to be a fan of Galaxy hops and 8-Bit has become a fridge favorite over the summer. A pale ale with big hops and flavor, neither of which are subtle, so these tallboys are great to feed that pesky hop demon that often growls for more.
