Description:
The Australian hop selection Galaxy is a high alpha dual purpose triploid cultivar with a pronounced and unique hop aroma. Bred by Hop Products Australia at their Rostrevor Breeding Garden Victoria. Galaxy, when added late in the boil, has been found to impart a unique and pleasant flavor to beer. The striking flavor has been described as a combination of citrus and passionfruit, it is currently being sold as a direct substitute for Citra (due to Citra being hard to come by these days).

Goose Island has an IPA (Star Cluster) that they use these hops in. I can't wait to get my hands on some of these to make my own.

I've always been a simcoe/amarillo fan, but after making an IPA with these they are now my favorite. I had to stop and smell the fermenter every time I walked by.
