Lupulus X - Galaxy IPA
Buxton Brewery

Pours an entirely hazed yellow with a big, froth head.

Smells of ripe pineapples, fresh cut chunks of lime and cakey caramel malts among a lighter whiff of herbs.

Has a surprisingly smooth and fuller mouthfeel despite its relatively low abv with a sparkly, bubbly finish. This drinks outstandingly well.

Tastes intensly hop forward from first glance with uncompromisingly bitter limes, wet grass and coating, riper oranges. Got a note of bready malts adding in for making sure the balance of this remains intact, while staying focussed on the hops, which gain a light, yet fitting resinous sweetness, acting as an intriguing counterpart to the omnipresent bitterness of this. Finishes creamy, utmost bitter, with accompanying floral and herbal notes, creating a long lasting aftertaste, defined by limes and orange zest.

Holy smokes, this beer is awesome! It unleashes a real rollercoaster on the tongue, while balancing the whole thing easily with its world class, smooth mouthfeel.
