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 at home picked up in Belgium last year. A mostly clear golden yellow coloured pour with a lively frothy white head. Aroma is nice fruity dried orange peel, pale grains, Belgian triple yeast, straw. Flavour is composed of semi sweet pale grains, hay, dried orange, coriander, little alcohol bite. Palate is medium light, frothy spritzy carbonation, little hot alcohol in the finish. Good.

Bottle. Hazy golden body with a thin white head. Steady carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of straw, grass and bread. Flavour of honey, Rich Tea biscuit and green peppers. Medium body with a slick mouthfeel. Lively fizz. It’s very clean but less complex than I expected.

33cl bottle shared by Arve_Christian - thanks a lot. Slighly hazy golden with a white head. Grainy and somewhat fruity aroma with yeasty notes and hints of spices. Moderate to medium sweet with mild malty flavours and some hoppy notes. Quite decent, but not really my thing.
