    Curious if there's a brew out there featuring both. I'm thinking of brewing a combo of a HF double galaxy / HF double Citra clone, curious if there's a passion fruit / citrus bomb out there already featuring both together?

    Pretty sure Pretty Things "Meadowlark IPA" is Galaxy and Citra. Big ol' fruit bomb!

    I believe Enjoy By's have a little citra at flameout and galaxy in the dry hop, along with Nelson.

    Enjoy By has a lot of other hops as well. Centennial, Helga, and Simcoe in the dry hop. Galaxy makes up about 50-60% of it though. Next is Nelson and Simcoe I believe, then there's Centennial and Helga.

    No Galaxy in boil.

    Not sure how consistent this is across batches but:

    Stone Enjoy By IPA
    Stats:
    9.4% abv, 88 IBUs
    Hops bill: Calypso during the mash; Super Galena hop extract for bittering; Simcoe, Delta, Target, and Amarillo for flavor; Motueka, Citra, and Cascade for aroma; Nelson Sauvin and Galaxy for dry hopping
    Appearance: Golden with a creamy white head of foam.
    Aroma: I don’t know when the word “dank” became an official part of brewing descriptive lexicon, but it certainly fits here. Intense dank hoppiness, resin, peaches, and hints of tropical fruit are all evident in the aroma.
    Taste: Smooth malt up front, quickly dissipating quickly into a massive onslaught of hops-the dankness and peach come through strongly.
    Palate: Smooth, hints of alcohol, and a perfect balance of bitterness and dryness on the back end.
    Overall: We took the opportunity with this beer to use several interesting techniques we’ve learned over our many years of brewing great Double IPAs. The result is an intense dry beer with very little malt sweetness, but with plenty of malt flavor to provide a background to the enormous…or shall I say “ginormous”…hop character.

    Yeah, might be hard to pick out the citra and the galaxy in that group.:grimacing:

    The dry hop on Enjoy By is more than just Galaxy and Citra. A Stone brewer and I recently spoke about it in depth. Nelson and Galaxy make up about 70% of the dry hop.

    While not just Citra and Galaxy, Deschutes Fresh Sqeezed has that citrus aroma and taste you are looking for.

    I don't think galaxy and citra compliment each other very well. At least when I've had the combo, the galaxy drowned out a lot of the subtler notes of the citra. the only one I've tried was a limited brew

    Not exactly what you're looking for, but Victory Hop Ranch features Mosaic and Azacca. Tastes like you poured a shot of pineapple in your glass. It's a beautiful thing.
