A descendant of Perle, Galaxy® is an incredible variety from Australia that are Hop Products Australia’s (HPA) pride and joy. Development started in the 90s to breed a new dual purpose hop variety with a high alpha acid content. Galaxy® is best known, however, for having one of the highest essential oil contents, which impart bold and fruity flavors if added late in the boiling process. Galaxy® is perfect for Pale Ales and IPAs.
