For the second beer in the Hop Adventure Series we have chosen Galaxy hops from Australia which contribute a unique passionfruit flavour combined with some citrus and peach. The beer’s style is a Single Hop India Pale Ale meaning one hop was used for bittering, aroma and several doses of dry-hopping.

I bought this beer at the grain d'orges in Crissier. It is a good IPA with all the qualities that you could expect, hop, malt, bitterness, 28.09.2016, drinking it probably at Lausanne, Prélaz.

Točeno pivo 500ml. Jako dobro pivo. Slatkasti i citrusni miris, neki bi rekli da je parfimirana, :-) Ukus je isto po tropskom voću sa naravno ugodnom gorčinom.
