This Intergalactical Imperial lager was brewed by Ben (Bridge Road Brewers, 50 Ford Street, Beechworth VIC 3747, Australia) & Urbain @ Struise, as a superb collaborative effort between both breweries and Simply Hops (Hop Pocket Lane, Paddock Wood, Tonbridge, Kent, TN12 6DQ, UK). While Ben shared his Australian Lager brewing techniques, Simply Hops procured us with Fresh Galaxy hop flowers.
Only 4 ingredients were used, Vleteren water, German pilsner malt, Australian Galaxy Hops and Weihenstephan yeast. This lager not only bottom fermented, but also matured on its own bed of C02 for six months.

Draught Clear golden beer with a fluffy snowwhite head. Quite malty nose, faintly toasted. Hints a wild (rather than Galaxy) hops. Very bitter flavour, truckload of hops, again wild-tasting. Quinine, metallic (in fact a tad overdone for me). Longlasting hopbitterness, qcquires a burnt/coal taste. Not really well-bodied, astringent by the hopoils. NOT for the fainthearted. Hopheads, rejoice!

[10/19/13] Draught at Eurhop Beer Festival 2013 in Rome. Slightly hazy golden. Nice aroma full of grassy hops and some honey-ish malt. Flavor has a bit of bready malt, a bit honey-ish, some sweetness and nice grassy hops bitterness. Medium-bodied. Quite nice.
