Descended from German variety Perle, Galaxy® is a unique Australian breed of hops that has the distinction of sporting the highest percentage of essential oils in the industry.
It has an amazing citrus, peach and passionfruit aroma, especially when used as a late addition. The flavor is often quite intense upon production but mellows as it matures. Galaxy® enjoyed her first commercial production in 2009 after nine years of testing and quickly became popular both in Australia and overseas.

I am looking for Galaxy rhizomes to buy. Do you know where to get them? We grow over 25 varieties of hops here for rhizomes to sell. http://www.thymegarden.com/rhizomes

Hi Rolfe. Galaxy is a proprietary variety grown exclusively by HPA in Australia. Rhizomes are unavailable to us mere mortals I’m afraid.
Just used Galaxy for the first time.
The small pellets are not as green as hops usually are and look almost the color of rust. Like a light rust.
They arrived three days ago in a shipment. Packed in the typical foil bags. The box says 2020 harvest.
Any feed back?
Thanks,
Jim in NZ
