GALENA
HOPS PELLETS – UNITED STATES
AROMA VALUES
Developed in 1968, but not released till 1978, the Galena hop owes it’s origins to an open breeding program at Idaho State. Hailing from Brewer’s Gold Hops, this is a multipurpose hop with high alpha acids. It provides strong bitter qualities both in the finish and the aroma. It is great in the majority of English and American Ales.
