Galaxy (Australia) Hop Pellets 8 oz BSG Select Handcraft Hops

Breeding/Development: Australia. The preeminent Australian hop, Galaxy arose from breeding programs in the 1990s with ancestry that includes German Perle. It was released in 2009 and has seen very high demand ever since. Brewing Application: Aroma and dry hop. Although it has adequate alpha content for bittering additions, Galaxy shines when used as an aroma and flavor hop - the later the better for flavor intensity. Its powerful tropical fruit character is at home as a feature in American pale and IPA, wheat beer, saison, and Brettanomyces-fermented beers. Sensory: Intense and potent. Musky tropical fruit (passionfruit, apricot, Key lime) with dank citrus and earthy blackcurrant. To preserve freshness, all BSG HandCraft hops are packaged in nitrogen-flushed, oxygen- and light-barrier foil packages. Aroma and dry hop.
