Single Hop IPA - Galaxy

Tap to rate

The first entry in a series of single-hop IPAs built around Australian varieties, this one carrying a heavy dose of whole Galaxy flowers in both the kettle and the conditioning tank. The hop leads throughout: passionfruit and peach in the aroma, a citrus-peel bite on the palate, and a resinous edge that builds towards the close. The grain bill is kept plain so nothing competes with it.

◐ Taste

Entry is clean and crisp, with citrus bite developing immediately across the palate. Mid-palate brings forward the resinous character and a building bitterness that grows steadily toward the swallow, while the peach and tropical notes provide balance without sweetness. The grain bill's simplicity ensures hop expression remains the focal point.

Serve well-chilled. Session IPAs are at their best cold — the lower ABV means less warmth to balance the hops.

Tulip glass

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.

Drink fresh. Session IPAs are brewed to be consumed young — the hops are at their best now.
