Galaxy®
GXY

Australia

A descendant of Perle, Galaxy® is a world-famous aroma hop created by Hop Products Australia (HPA). Development started in 1994 when the main focus was high alpha acid content and consistent yield. However, Galaxy® is best known for having one of the highest essential oil contents, which impart bold and fruity flavours of punchy passionfruit, juicy peach, and tangy citrus when added late in the boil, whirlpool, or dry hopping. Galaxy® is perfect for Pale Ales and IPAs.

*Alpha acids are determined by conductometric titration (EBC 7.4) in Europe, by spectrophotometry (ASBC Hops-6) in the USA. Oil composition is determined by gas chromatography (ASBC Hops-17, EBC 7.12).

All values represent the medium range of the last 4 years. Be aware that specifically the alpha and oil values can vary in a broad range depending on the relevant crop year.
