Part clouds of the cosmos on a quest for the elusive Australian Galaxy hop. This complex double IPA bursts with succulent aromas of peach, citrus and tropical fruits, swirling over the creamy haze from juicy hops and the exquisite fermentations of House IPA yeast.

Cask gravity at GBBF 2018. It pours crazy cloudy golden. With a small, bubbly white head. The aroma is sweet, oily, green, danky, ripe stone fruits, melon, greengage and spice. The taste is dry, bitter, chalky, floury white bread, tropical, spicy, green, dank, weedy, pineapple chunks and some booze with a slick, chalky finish. Medium body and fine carbonation carbonation. Maybe a bit chalky and floury, but decent anyhow.

GBBF Day 3. Cask. Very hazy gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is light and has reasonable fine carbonation. Light and sweet malts. Very good tropical fruits, slightly ripe. Mango, guava, touch of ripe pineapple. Whisper of ripe orange. Mellow lemon and hop spice comes through on the finish. Very nicely done.

Cloudy, hazy, danky, almost too rich hops as far as that raw, powdery hop is concerned. Has some sweetness.

Draught at the brewery on 7/11/17.
Thoroughly hazy, though not soupy, drab brass with a lemon-lime tint. White head atop is small but shows moderate retention.
Beautifully-expressed Galaxy hop in the nose shows the real deal NE IPA. It's juicy, spicy, full of mineral and light wine with low resin, no overboiled notes and a backing of sparse cracker and biscuit-like malts that do not disrupt. Light bubble gum-like yeast esters from Aeronaut's very, very healthy fermentation but nothing messy or unclean. A pinch of light alcohol lingering.
Soft and fruity with big pineapple, mango and a long, spicy, white wine and passion fruit-laden finish. Supple malts are well-attenuated but still show ample depth while carbonation is low but engaging providing for a crisp finish. Alcohol and esters are noted but don't become problematic. A bit of resin dots the finish but nor is it problematic. Excellent stuff. Aeronaut has come a long way from its beginnings and is putting out some great NE IPAs. Very excited to try Double Hop Hop.
