Boombox Brewing Company Galactic Haze – American IPA at 6.5% ABV (C$7.65 at Collective, 473 ml, packaged on 2-Sep-2025, acquired 13-Nov-2025, reviewed 14-Nov-2025)
Appearance: hazy pale gold with one fat finger of rocky pale ivory head, good retention and moderate soapy lacing. (4/5) Aroma: dank resiny pine, citrus, tropical fruit, cereal grains. (9/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate bitter tending slightly high. (6/10) Palate: medium body, moderate-soft carbonation, slightly edgy lingering bitter finish. (3/5)
This thing smells great, with the terpenes coming through strongly on the front end. So, I had high hopes for the first sip. Which were cruelly dashed by the unexpectedly bitter taste, and even more so by the oddly edgy bitter finish. It’s not terrible, by any means, but it’s out of keeping with the hazy style and really doesn’t follow through on the promise of the aroma. (15/20)
This will be my 6,258th unique Untappd check-in.
7.5/10 #ryansbooze ryansbooze.com
