Tropical hop aroma up front, peach and passionfruit over a full malt body, then a firm piney bitterness on the finish. Galaxy Ripple is Best Day's hop-forward seasonal, and it is the biggest hop character in their line.
About Best Day Brewing
Best Day Brewing brews non-alcoholic beer and nothing else. We carry several of them: Kölsch, Hazy IPA, Wild American Pils, Electro-Lime and Dark Diamond. Galaxy Ripple is a seasonal, and Best Day styles it a double IPA: the hop intensity of one, without the strength.
Key ingredients
- Water, barley, hops, yeast. Four ingredients, nothing else.
- Hop-forward, tropical on the nose and piney on the finish.
- Full malt body to carry the bitterness.
Good to know
- NA craft beer, 0.5% ABV.
- Seasonal release, so it comes and goes.
- Shelf-stable. Brewed in the USA.
How to enjoy
Cold, but not ice-cold, in a glass with room above the beer so the hop aroma has somewhere to go. Pairs with anything you would put a hoppy beer next to: burgers, fried chicken, sharp cheddar, a curry.
Swizzle's Take
This is the one we reach for when someone says they miss hops. The bitterness is real and it lingers, which is the part most alcohol-free IPAs get wrong.
