Galaxy Pale Ale 23L

Galaxy Pale Ale

In 2016, this Pale Ale was entered the American Homebrew Association's National Homebrew Competition and took home first place in the San Diego First Round. The brewers were none other than Jared Veldheer, the ‘offensive tackle’ for the NFL Arizona Cardinals.

This single hop beer uses Australian Galaxy hop, know for passion fruit aroma and flavor as well as blasts of clean citrus and peach. At times, you can also experience pineapple and tropical fruit notes.
