Galaxia is our southern hemisphere hoppy lager brewed using a traditional double decoction mash and hopped with Australian Galaxy & New Zealand hops. After the boil it rests in our copper coolship for 1 hour and is then transferred over our baudelot cooler. Galaxia undergoes a cool fermentation using a German lager yeast. It is cellared for several months & finally dry hopped prior to release.

Can to lager glass.
Appearance: burnt yellow to orange cardboard color with a three finger white foamy head which took it's time to dissipate and leave some mild foamy lace
Aroma: lots of tropical fruity hops, some lemon, light oranges and a touch of biscuity character
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas semi-sweet with a kind yeasty tone to it; mellow aftertaste of the tropical fruitiness
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable; semi-smooth along the tongue; finishes crisp and quaint
Overall: pretty good flavorful lager with Galaxy hops which I would love to have again.

Can from Tavour. Pours slightly translucent gold with a decent white head. Aroma of citrus, grass and melon. Arguably med body. Flavor is a slight breadiness with lots of spice/grass, melon and maybe passion fruit. Fairly dry. More than moderately bitter. Great beer.

Hazy gold orange pour. Thin creamy head. Sweet flavor of lemon that isn't too tart. Easy carbonation and soft bodied. Nice beer.

Puffed wheat, subtle meyer lemon nose. Hazy golden, medium head, nice lace. Lemongrass, mild biscuit. Grass finish. Medium body, soft carbonation. Refreshing, and well balanced. Outstanding example of the style. One of the higher ratings I ever give for a lager.

Canned August 2021, drunk 10/26/21. A touch of haze to this copper-bronze beer with an off-white head atop that is very small, but dense and well-retained. Heavy minerality in the nose is immediately attractive, assumedly replacing the by-now-faded hops. Still some passion fruit, lime, papaya and stronger riesling notes with softer nectarine and honey on the end and no alcohol or flaw noted. Very soft, surprisingly medium-full-bodied and on the sweeter side in the mouth with tons of honey bordering caramel and very light bitterness. Fruitiness from the hops/yeast and drier mineral notes help to dry but it's very full. Not very refreshing like I was expecting, though I know this is more akin to an IPL than something like a Helles or Pils. Kind of like drinking a hellerbock at this point, which is fine, just not exactly what I wanted.

Draught at Brouwerij Lane: pours clear gold with white head. Aroma is light tropical notes, fresh grass. Taste is bright and lightly bitter. Very clean and smooth.
