disry
We got Galaxy safely again this year. We were informed on the brewer's SNS that it was difficult to open the bottle, so we carefully opened the bottle in a bowl. The bottle was as good as advertised, and it took us 15 minutes to open it with a corkscrew. By the time I finished, my hands were shaking so badly that I couldn't hold the glass properly...
The aroma is of gentle rice. Mild aroma of rice, maybe milder than last year. Mochi, a gaseous feeling.
Mild sweetness and crisp acidity. This year is quite dry.
The acidity is followed by an astringent taste, which is clean and crisp. The lingering aftertaste is a pleasantly bitter one.
It is not as impressive as last year, but the taste is stable. It might be better if it had a little more sweetness and umami.
