Let me preface this: I've brewed with galaxy before and had wonderful results.
My last 2 batches have been Galaxy-focused, keg-hopped IPAs and they're undrinkable. Prior to kegging I can get a hint of celery-like, grassy flavor (which, ruling out all other factors, I'm convinced it's the galaxy hops I used in the whirlpool) but once it's kegged with the dry hops (also, Galaxy), that flavor is exponentially worse. Has anyone else had issues with galaxy hops as of recent? I've had grassy flavors in dry-hopped beers but this is unbelievable.
