Galena Hops

Galena Hop Profile

Galena is named after the ancient Roman term "galenite", a mineral that lives in the soils of Oregon. Released by the USDA as a high alpha variety in 1978, Galena offers clean bittering and has long been a go-to hop for heavy-hitting brews like IPAs, stouts, porters and red ales. Its dual-purpose nature will surprise with pleasant notes of citrus, sweet fruit, herbs and spice. A trusted, reliable classic with understated flavor.
