Original Stormtrooper Galactic Pale Ale
I've tried their Space Craft Lager, now it is time for Galactic Pale Ale. I don't envy the people who have to come up with names for these beers.
Details
- Pale ale, 4.8% ABV
- 330ml can
I can't find anything about this online, and the can is not very informative.
Expectations
The Stormtrooper lager was better than I had expected, so I have high hopes for this one. Pale ale doesn't usually let me down and I am quite looking forward to it.
Experience
The colour is a pale yellow, quite cloudy with lots of tiny bubbles that form about 5mm of head on top. It looks appetising.
There is a bit of a hoppy smell, though I would say fruit-wise it is closer to mango than citrus. It's quite subtle.
The taste is bitter, slightly sweet. The hoppy taste comes through and it sits somewhere between mango and grapefruit. It isn't too overpowering though, just about the right level for me to enjoy it. There is a hint of maltiness that comes through too.
I quite like this beer - it has an interesting, pleasant taste and I would be happy to drink it again.
Verdict
4/5 : A pale ale with a decent amount of hoppiness.
