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.

trapez (1353) - Hilleroed, - JAN 2, 2009
Bottle. Spicy, malty aroma. Clear dark amber with beige head. Malty and slightly bitter flavour. Especially the ryemalt is characteristic. Hops are surprisingly discrete, to my disappointment.

laiti (1675) - Tampere, FINLAND - JAN 21, 2012
Bottle. BBE 04.09.2009. Rated on 21.09.2009
Orange colour. Aroma has mostly vegetables and roots. Also some bready malt. Flavour is rather disturbing with soil, rye and starch. Also hints of cardboard. Never again. Might have been a bad or too old bottle though.

Rye ipa. not particularly hoppy or bitter. not the strong rye flavor, as expected, a strong and rich beer with a nice creamy head.

Hazy amber with an off-white head. Aroma is malty, sweet and hoppy - citrus. Flavor is medium sweet and moderate bitter. Finish is dry and bitter. Could use some more hops. 220207

I like the aroma of new baked bread and the taste of hay, with cloudy colour and light foam, I can drink alot of this beer but one at the time.

Adenila (1468) - DENMARK - JUN 13, 2009
Dark sleightly hazy amber with a huge baige head. Quite malty aroma with notes of bread and some citrus. Flavor has bitter hop notes of soapy citrus along with a delicate tartness and some caramel sweetness. Decent

stobbe74 (3163) - DENMARK - MAY 14, 2009
Sampled at DØE Beer festival 2006, Horsens. Pours a ambercolored beer with a white head. The aroma is hops and herbs. The flavor is weak, but follows the nose. The palate is somewhat complex with bitterness. Overall average beer.

Plovmand (4929) - 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.

aru (105) - Smørum, DENMARK - JAN 2, 2009
Hazy amber color with medium size light brown head. The aroma is not particular strong, but what is reveals some of the hobs. The beer has a rather powerful palate which stimulates the most of your mouth. The taste is obviously dominated by bitterness from the hobs, even though it is not that pronounced as one could expect. In overall just above average IPA.
