A novel variety of hop, Humulus lupulus L., named "Super Galena" is
disclosed. "Super Galena" has relatively high contents of bitter acids,
beta-acids, total oil, and humulene, and a moderate, pleasant aroma.
"Super Galena" is comparable to Galena in its aroma and bitterness
profile but offers a substantially higher yield and complete resistance
to hop powdery mildew strains found in Washington, United States. The new
variety was discovered among the progeny of a sexual cross made in 1998
in Yakima, Wash., United States and has been asexually reproduced and
assessed in field plots in Prosser, Wash., United States.
