330mL bottle, pours a clear pale golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out lots of hop oils, including piney and floral hops. Flavour is along the same lines, with piney hops and dry crackery malt - a bit of mineraly notes. Solid, unspectacular IPA.

Pours amber with a small head.Nose shows floral hops, soft peach blossom and a little orange peel alongside grainy, bready malt. Pretty much a Czech pilsner with new world hops.Flavours pretty much mirror the aroma. Spicy, floral hops followed by light grainy malt and an assertive bitterness.

Bottle - Orange peel and caramel malts. Clear gold with a decent white head. Lots of peel and a nice bitterness. Decent.

Beautiful golden color, bright, small head. Pungent fruity hop aroma. Dry mouthfeel, the malt flavor is a bit papery, the hops are not very fruity, but they are fairly resiny, pungent.
Very good.

On tap at Brothers Beer, Auckland, August 2014. Clear darker golden with a small head. The taste was nicely hoppy with pineapple, hay and mango. Similar taste. The finish was dry and hoppy. A tasty Low Alcohol.

Hazy light amber. Earthy, little bit mushroomy w damp wood. A little bit smoky/meaty on the palate. A bit of tropical fruit. Ok IPA, a bit chewy in the finish.

Draught at the Spotted Mallard, Melbourne. On July 27, 2013.At the time we visited a pint was only 50 cents more than half a pint, so pint it was then.Black color, teal head. Sweet, light roasted taste. Roasted aftertaste. Medium mouthfeel, low bitterness. Light acidic, roasted scent.OK, but where is the coffee? Forgettable.

Pours pale amber with a large, lasting head.Nose shows pine, resinous hops, pear and some soft sweet clean malt.Similar flavours. Pine, resin, spicy hops. Very little malt.Carbonation seems a little high.Not bad, although not what I’d expect from galaxy.

Bottle. Extremely dark maroon color, large fluffy beige head with good retention. Aroma of peppery pine boughs on a background of long black. Taste is bright pine with roasted coffee grounds and bitter cocoa. Exactly what a black IPA ought to be. Delicious.
