🌍 Australia · IPA · One of 70 IPAs in hopIQ

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.

Aroma

The nose is dominated by Galaxy hop character: prominent passionfruit and peach notes sit alongside a sharp citrus-peel edge. The malt base remains deliberately understated, allowing the tropical and resinous hop aromatics to command attention without distraction.

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 & Enjoy

How to get the most out of Single Hop IPA - Galaxy

Serve at 8–11°C
Refrigerate, then rest 2 min

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

Tulip glass
Recommended for this style

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.
