Fanø Bryghus’s “Single Hop Series” is a continuing series of ales brewed to showcase the aromatic and flavor profiles of individual hop varieties. Brewed as either a Pale Ale or a NEIPA style, each recipe uses a single hop variety, in this way the beer drinker has an opportunity to develop a clearer understanding of the unique properties that each hop variety possesses and even how to recognize those flavors in more complex recipes.

Galaxy®: 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.

Copenhagen 24/4 2022. 50 cl bottle from Mey, Rotunden, Hellerup. Purple version of Fanø's usual design for their single hop series with a drawing of a hop flower this time in af purple frame with even more hop flowers.

Pours unclear golden amber with a mid-sized white head. Settles as thin, flimsy layer of foam struggling to cover the surface of the beer. Crawling up the sides of the glass. Substantial lacing.

Aroma is intense with a strong sweet, malty odor mingling with sweet tropical fruits. Sweet pale malts, mango ad peach. Citrus and lemon. Dry vibe.

Light carbonation. Slightly thick, oily, soft, lightly tingling texture.

Flavor is fairly intense with a medium strong sweetness followed by a stronger, citric bitterness. Aftertaste is biter and citric. A little rough. Lingers for a while. Finish is dry.

Potent, dry and bitter.
