Galaxy
All HopsDescription
Galaxy is a dual-purpose hop that can be used in all hop additions throughout the brewing process. Galaxy hops have one of the highest concentrations of essential oils known in hops, which has contributed to its meteoric rise in popularity. Galaxy is often described as having a strong passion fruit aroma and flavor as well as blasts of citrus and peach. At times, you can also experience pineapple and tropical fruit hints. Galaxy hops are all fruit with little to no floral, pine, or spice characteristics. Galaxy hops are extremely versatile. They can work compliment other hops perfectly, or take center stage as the primary flavor. Their high alpha acid content make them especially suited to late boil and dry hopping. Their distinctive mixture of citrus, passion fruit, peach and hints of grass is sure to stand out and create a beer like no other.
