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.

Hazy yellow colored, medium off white head, decent lasting. Aroma is malt, caramel, bready, straw, bit of yeast, bit lemony. Taste is medium sweet caramel, bit sugary, straw-hay, crackers, medium- herbal bitterness, dryish finish, alcohol well hidden. Medium+ bodied, soft carbonation. Good, not a sugar/booze mix as most Imperial Pils.

At a tasting, small bubbly head, very cloudy palish orange color, woody spicy aroma with some shrubiness and hints of wax and yeast, flavor of shrubs and paper with bland fruitines and a little coarse bitterness. Bland and not too good.

Flaska från Beergium. Djupt gyllengul lätt disig vätska med lågt snabbt försvinnande skum. Söt lite tjock doft med nyanser av rostade nötter, kaprifol, ljung, apelsinskal. En kraftfull men väldigt välbalanserad IL. Ingen sötma eller alkohol sticker ut, smakbilden är trots en stabil kropp lätt och fint nyanserad med väl integrerade smaker. Lätt blommig och fruktig, torr utan att bli stram eller särskilt besk, lite brödkryddor och ljunghonung. Riktigt trevlig.

Goudgeel bier met schuim. Smaak is krachtig en bitter hoppig met sporen van fruit, abrikoos, perzik en ananas. Een erg goed bier.

Bottle from Geers. Hazy yellow colour, white foam. Medium carbonation. Dry and bitter with sweet hints. Like a strong hoppy lager. Not bad but not my style.
