Apollo Galaxy

Tap to rate

Apollo Galaxy greets you with a pronounced aroma of tropical fruit, built from Galaxy and Citra hops, and keeps a full, strong body. American Apollo hops set the bitterness. The recipe grew out of a British-style Pale Ale and was conceived as a summer beer; it is brewed at 13° Stammwürze and has become a fixture of the range in Broumy.

Serve at 7–10°C

Cold enough to sharpen the hop aroma without numbing the palate. Around 7–9°C keeps the citrus and pine vivid without losing bitterness definition.

Pint glass

The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.

Drink fresh — hop aroma fades fast. Best within 3 months of canning or bottling.
