Galena is used in particular in ale, porter, stout, extra special bitter and bitter. It is also the hop used in Corona (which some may not regard as a ringing endoresement!). Like Eroica, it is similar to Northern Brewer. Released in 1978. From a selection of seedlings from Brewer's Gold. It is best used in small quantites as it can impart a coarse, harsh bitterness if overused and has citrisy characteristics. It is the most popular high-alpha-acid hop in the US.
