Description:

This is a New England style IPA brewed with lots of galaxy and citra hops to achieve a rich orange and pineapple flavor profile. Loosely inspired by Aslin's Orange Starfish, this GF variant adds lactose for additional creaminess and body with honey to enhance the malt flavor. Flaked quinoa and dry hopping in primary help achieve the desired hazy appearance.

Taste Notes ~
Brewday: - Nice orange color (maybe a tad dark). Incredibly sweet caramel and milky, strong bitter bite on the backend and on the throat. Tropical fruit, orange, and other bright fruits are definitely there as well. Its a bit tough to say what the final flavor profile will be, but it seems pretty close to what I was going for. 6 May: - Color is just about perfect, bright orange! Aroma is basically the same, bright orange, passion fruit, mango, some pine apple. Taste is slightly sweet, with loads of tropical hop fruit flavor. Lots more orange. Backend has a bit of bit to it. With the after taste layering on more flavor on top of what was there before! Damn. Liberty Bell may become my new go to for NEIPAs. 8 June: - This beer has done well. Medium body, decent creamy mouthfeel and sweetness. Good balance from tropical fruit notes, orange, mango, and other tropical fruit. Nice blend of hops and yeast.
