O'Hara's - Hop Adventure Series Galaxy Hop

Australia is the next port of call and our of choice for this voyage is the ‘Galaxy Hop’. If you are new to this series then let us explain the thinking behind this concept. We have developed the Hop Adventure Series to showcase some of our favourite and the most interesting hops from around the world. It is a great chance for us to have some real fun with flavour’s and to open people’s eyes to the different hops which can be sourced from all over the world, which is why this next stop is Australia. With this in mind we went about designing a beer that would allow the hops to display their full flavour and aroma. The beer’s style is a Single Hop India Pale Ale meaning one hop was used for bittering, aroma and several doses of dry-hopping.The Galaxy hop is one of the most internationally recognised Australian flavour hop; bred in the mid-1990s from Australian high alpha hops and European cultivar male hops. It is bursting with fruitiness, and in particular imparts a unique passion fruit flavour to the IPA, along with citrus and peach.
