11 Galaxy IPL

Tap to rate

A clean, fresh Pilsner-style lager base gives the fruity Galaxy aroma room to shine: tropical fruit, citrus and stone fruit, supported by a pleasant bitterness. The traditional Czech foundation meets the Australian Galaxy hop, joined by Agnus, in a strongly hopped, refreshing India Pale Lager made from Pilsner malt only. Unfiltered and unpasteurised, like all of the brewery's beers.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for 11 Galaxy IPL

◎ Appearance

Pale golden hue with excellent clarity, revealing the beer's unfiltered character through fine suspended particles that catch the light. A dense, creamy head forms quickly and clings persistently to the glass walls, supported by tight carbonation that maintains steady streams of fine bubbles.

◌ Aroma

The Galaxy hop dominates immediately with tropical fruit notes—mango, passionfruit, and stone fruit—layered over bright citrus zest and a clean herbal undertone from the supporting Agnus variety. The Pilsner malt base provides a subtle, neutral backdrop that allows the exotic hop character to command the nose without competing floral or caramel elements.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and dry, with the lager yeast delivering a smooth, clean palate that immediately showcases stone fruit and citrus flavors. Mid-palate development brings a balanced, moderately assertive bitterness—firm but not aggressive—that integrates seamlessly with the fruity hop character and keeps the beer refreshing rather than harsh. The malt presence remains understated, offering just enough breadth to support the hop-driven profile without sweetness.

◑ Finish

The finish is dry and refreshing, with lingering citrus and a subtle herbaceous bitterness that fades gradually without astringency. The aftertaste remains bright and thirst-quenching, inviting another sip.

Tulip glass

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
