COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Danish: Brøckhouse har brygget denne øl, der skal med på Galathea-ekspeditionens skib jorden rundt. Galathea-ekspeditionen er den største danske forskningsekspedition til søs i over 50 år. Brøckhouse Galathea er udviklet til at kunne tåle transport til søs over lange afstande, og den trækker på stolte traditioner for øl, der er blevet transporteret på den måde. Brøckhouse har valgt at tage udgangspunkt i en India Pale Ale, også kaldet IPA. Denne type øl blev ”opfundet”, da englænderne skulle have sejlet øl over til deres koloni Indien. IPAen var med dens store indhold af konserverende humle og høje alkoholindhold ideel til at tåle de lange sørejser. Normalt er IPA brygget på bygmalt, men Brøckhouse har videreudviklet den og som noget helt exceptionelt brygget den på rugmalt. Rugen giver øllen en meget kraftig, mørk maltet smag. Bør serveres ved 9-11 grader.

madsberg (8780) - Søborg, DENMARK - JAN 28, 2007
Bottled. Amber coloured. Quite clear. High carbonation makes a huge dense off white head. Fruits, some light chocolate and some herbs in the aroma. Flavour is light piney, herbal and again has some chocolate notes. Medium bodied. Quite dry. Is medium bitter in the end. Quite drinkable IPA, but I prefer the regular IPA from the brewer.

FatPhil (7494) - Tallinn, ESTONIA - MAY 14, 2007
500ml bottle (Pøirotti, Helsinki, Danish Week 2007). Strong bitter based on a honey sweetness - but the bitterness stays much longer. Hides its alcoholic strength well.

Plovmand (5711) - Helsinge, DENMARK - JAN 17, 2009
Swing-top bottle. Hazy amber body with an off-white medium sized head. Caramel, flowers, malt and some hops in aroma. Flavour is hoppy with lots of malt (rye) which it not as hayish as the barley editions of IPA. 10 IBU more would suit this beer but is ok as it is. Medium creamy body.

Hansen (5432) - Assentoft, DENMARK - FEB 2, 2007
Clear, brown-orange beer. Has a mostly lasting, off-white head. I find it a bit too sweet, caramel to bee an IPA, has an ok bitter finish.
