100% Vic Secret IPA

These single hop beers are really informative. You can really find out what a hop tastes like. So it is with this beer. To me, it tastes a lot like galaxy, which makes sense as they are both Australian. But it's not exact. There's a certain piney, pineapple flavor in vic secret that's not in galaxy. And of course generic fruit.

The beer is a bit sweet, but I haven't drawn much from the keg, so early samples from any keg tend to be sweet, regardless of the beer. If it's like the galaxy beer, it'll taste more dry as I drink more of it.

It's opaque. More orange than the galaxy ipa, probably due to the two pounds of munich.

This is my first kegged beer that hasn't been in my kegerator, which has two kegs in it already and can only fit two. So this one has been hanging out in a spare room at room temperature. Temperatures in drafty house dip at times, though, so it's still pleasant to drink. In the coming weeks, I'll fill my fourth and final keg with either the experimental grapefruit ipa or coffee grinder ipa. And then it will be time to brew again.
