I brewed this beer as a tribute to the original Sailor Moon series and to celebrate the release of the new Sailor Moon Crystal series that just premiered. All the ingredients have some sort of reference to the show (Gold, Silver, Millennium, Crystal, Warrior, etc.) The beer turned fantastic! Huge hop flavor, mostly from the Galaxy dry hop which I racked on to after 7 days. Hopefully some Sailor Moon fans will get the references but even if you don't, this is great beer to brew up. Big citrus notes with some residual sweetness from the Golden Promise. I'm making another version of it with an El Dorado dry hop instead of Galaxy. I'll post impressions after that beer is ready.
