That is a great price, but 2017 whole cone is a question mark with me. It would be interesting to see a current AA profile. The University of Maryland has hop growing research underway. I was surprised to see that Galena is one of the best growing hops in Maryland. I had a bumper crop of CTZ in the second year of growing that cultivar that measured at 17% AA. I thought that CTZ would be a slam dunk in Maryland; however, Galena out performs it, and I prefer Galena to CTZ. To me, Galena has the most versatile bitterness of all of the bittering hops. It is clean and unobtrusive. Galena allows the aroma hops to shine. Magnum is second, but not a close second, followed by Nugget. All of the others are, no, just no when it comes to bittering beers other than strong, hoppy ales. That may not matter to Millennial brewers who appear to be stuck in a yet another variation of IPA rut just like Boomers were stuck in an amber ale and lager rut, but it matters to me because I prefer to stock a one, maybe two bittering hops. For years, I brewed with just five hops; namely, Galena, Cascade, Tettnanger, Willamette, and Liberty (which replaced Mt. Hood because I think that it is a more noble-like triploid than Mt. Hood).
