Beer: Pipeworks Galaxy Unicorn
While I am admittedly a beer novice compared to many other drinkers out there, I've had a enough world class IPAs and double IPAs that I'm starting to gain a keener sense for how their differentiated. Last night, I had the privilege to enjoy Galaxy Unicorn by Pipeworks Brewing Company. This beer completely floored me. I wouldn't hesitate to say that it is, in my opinion, the best double IPA that I've ever had. The flavor was absolutely incredible. Each sip contained an explosion of citrusy fruity goodness followed be a wonderful hops bitterness. There were no gaps in the flavor profile. The I think the flavoring could best be described as a more concentrated version of a pale ale such as Half Acre Daisy Cutter, FFF Gumballhead, or FFF Zombie Dust. While I initially felt the carbonation was a little bit on the low side, I think that it helped from obscuring the flavor profile. Anyways, if you have the opportunity, do yourself a favor and pick up a bottle of Pipeworks Unicorn Galaxy. I certainly plan on buying more and keeping an eye out for other galaxy hops beers.
