Galaxy hop has an intense tropical fruit aroma, especially passion fruit, together with nuances of peach and citrus. These aromatic characteristics are due to its high myrcene content and other terpenes, responsible for fruity and citrus profiles.
Originally from Australia, Galaxy was developed by Hop Products Australia and released to the market in 2009. This hop stands out not only for its aromatic profile but also for its high alpha acid content, generally ranging between 13% and 15%. Its combination of bitterness and fruity aromas makes it perfect for IPAs, especially Australian IPA and New England IPA, where these intense and aromatic flavours are desired.
