GITM was as advertised. Delicious and fruity. I absolutely love IPAs like this with the big juicy citrus flavor. If it is Galaxy, that isn't a surprise as one of my favorite IPAs is the Schlafly Tasmanian special release which is heavy on the Galaxy hops.
Thanks so much for sending it, Timbone. I'm a frequent poster on tigerdroppings/secrant which is full of people from LA, so they're always going on about GITM. I'd never gotten to try it before, so I'm glad to finally get the opportunity.
In other news from Parish brewing, they're changing one of their flagships to be more like Ghost. From their facebook:

We have radically changed Envie. It is now brewed with nearly twice as many hops and is now dry hopped with tons of Galaxy and Citra. We are using the same techniques employed to brew Ghost to brew Envie now. We also lightened up the body and the grain bill is in the same family as what we use to brew Ghost. We have the technology to make epicly hoppy yet soft mouthfeel beers, so I've decided to use these techniques to juice up what was a more traditional pale ale. Basically Envie was a fine beer, but we can make it more amazing. We struggled with the idea of making an altogether different brand of beer, but ultimately changing the Envie recipe was the path I've chosen for a variety of reasons. If you don't like the newer, more hoppy, more fruity version, I'm sorry. Really. In my view, the move with the most integrity is always to try to make the beers as amazing as possible. And that means turning Envie into baby Ghost. The first package run of the new recipe is dated 11/17. It has been distributed to New Orleans this week and should start showing up soon. Also we will have it on tap for all Grand Reserve festivities here. Enjoy.
