Galaxy - Australian Pale Ale

English Pale Ale and linger on the light amber gleam before taking in the captivating aromatics of ripe mango and freshly squeezed grapefruit on the nose.

This luscious Australian pale ale is named after a hop variety from down under, rather than a reference to the outer reaches of the Solar System where C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate (so we're told). However, it is still a celestial glass of beer with its deep orange golden colour being the launch-pad for a vibrant nose of citrus, stone fruit (peach?), ripe mango, papaya and pine (a pine forest after a rain shower) followed by a more tropical fruit, ripe peach, white grape and biscuity malt on the palate before its bittersweet and tantalisingly dry finish. Hops: Galaxy Food pairing: The vibrant and soul-stirring character of the Galaxy hop on evidence here suggests that the beer would dovetail neatly with a chicken jalfrezi or a lamb dopiaza.
