Galena

The Galena hop was an open pollinated seedling of Brewer's Gold. It was created in Idaho in 1968 and released in 1978.

Galena is an aroma hop that is typically used in only late boil additions, including dry hopping.

Aroma descriptors of the Galena hop include sweet fruits, pear, pineapple, blackcurrant, grapefruit, lime, gooseberry and spicy wood.

Some hops just taste better together. We recently analyzed [ 1 ] hundreds of the most popular beers to find which hops are commonly paired together. We found that Simcoe , Cascade , Amarillo , Chinook & Centennial hops are commonly used alongside the Galena hop. This is not a complete list, but should give you a good idea of what hops are commonly used together.
