Galaxy hops are Australia’s most celebrated and sought-after variety, grown in the pristine conditions of Tasmania and Victoria. Famed for their explosive tropical fruit character, Galaxy delivers vibrant aromas of passionfruit, peach, and bursts of citrus, with subtle undertones of pineapple and mango. On the palate, these bold flavours translate into a juicy, fruit-forward profile that brings both intensity and balance.
Renowned for its high essential oil content, Galaxy truly shines when added late in the boil or used for dry hopping, where its expressive tropical notes come alive. A favourite in pale ales, IPAs, and modern hop-driven styles, Galaxy adds a signature fruity punch that sets it apart, making it a go-to hop for brewers chasing flavour-packed, crowd-pleasing beers.
Vacuum sealed in mylar bags for superior freshness and quality.
Vacuum-sealed mylar bags protect hops by blocking oxygen, light, and moisture — the three biggest threats to hop freshness. This ensures that the aromatic and flavour characteristics your hops remain as vibrant as the day they were packaged. For maximum longevity, it’s best to store vacuum-sealed hops in a freezer or firdge. Once opened store in airtight container. 🍻🌿
