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.

Bottle from Struise Shop, Bruges.
Pours clear golden with a frothy, off-white head. The aroma contains apple, yeast, grain, 'wort', some banana and mango, bitter hops. It tastes light fruity sweet and light to medium grainy bitter with yeast notes; dry, grainy finish, some wry alcohol. Medium body, slick texture, lively carbonation. I must have missed something, I did not enjoy this...

Not bad even though it’s a little bit heavy and sweet for a Pilsner. Notwithstanding it’s a an "Imperial".

Bottle 330ml from www.smakpiwa.pl. Piwo ma spora czape sniezno-bialej piany, dosc dlugo trwalej. Normalka jesli chodzi o browarnikow od Struise. Jasna barwa typowa dla lagera czy pilsnera, lekko wzmocnione alkoholem. Nie przepadam za tym stylem bo jest nijaki i dominuje alkohol, Tu choc lekko wyczuwalny nie przeszkadzal, ale nic specjalnego i oszalamiajacego sie nie doszukalem. Styl typowy dla alkoholikow ale ten nieco sie wyroznia jakosciowo.
