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.
