Galaxy Hops

Australian Galaxy Hop Profile

Galaxy® is one of the most recognized, sought-after hop varieties in the world, celebrated for juicy flavors of peach, guava, passionfruit, and orange. A cross between Perle and a high alpha Australian hop, Galaxy® brings a high concentration of essential oils and alpha acids (13-18.5%). Use it in any hop-forward pale ale, IPA or hazy style — especially in the whirlpool or dry hop to maximize the flavor. Galaxy weaves seamlessly with the usual suspects of Citra® and Mosaic® without getting lost, and it shines brightly on its own. This punchy, Australian classic is built to make your beer explode with tropical character.

Galaxy Description from the Grower

"World-famous flavours of punchy passionfruit, juicy peach and tangy citrus. The high concentration of essential oils and alpha acids make these flavours more distinct through late addition in the kettle, whirlpool or dry hopping."
