Galaxy Hop Pellets 100g

€12,10

Galaxy® is a distinctive Australian dual-purpose hop descended from the German variety Perle. First commercially produced in 2009, it quickly became one of Australia's best-known hop varieties and is prized for its intense citrus, peach and passion fruit character.

Galaxy® is particularly impressive when used as a late addition, where its expressive fruit and citrus character can really shine. Its flavour can be quite intense when fresh and gradually becomes more rounded as the beer matures. A fantastic choice for brewers looking to add bold tropical and fruity character to modern hop-forward beers.
