Galaxy and Vic Secret hops combine in Star Gazer, the latest in our Galaxy Series, to bring you this bold New England Double IPA. At 8.1% this brew is forward but smooth, showcasing the tropical characteristics of these two Australian hops. Opening with a deep citrus aroma before easing into notes of pineapple and passion fruit.

(Can) Cloudy golden amber colour with frothy, off-white head. Fruity nose with pineapple, passionfruit, grapefruit and white bread. Fruity, hoppy taste with notes of pineapple, passionfruit, grapefruit, honey, a touch of resin, white bread and a mild citric/tropical bitterness in the finish. Medium body, with a certain sweetness. Lots of hops, not overly bitter. Fresh and juicy. Very nice.

Burk från SB. Disig gul vätska med lågt vitt skum. Söt och fruktig DIPA med massor av jujicig, zestig, marmeladig medelbeska citrus. Tropisk frukt finns där också. Stiltypisk NEDIPA åt det snällare och sötare hållet. Gott
