Amarillo® Hops

Description

AMARILLO® VGXP01 c.v. is one of those legendary varieties and is now in the top 10 most widely used hops. It was found by Virgil Gamache Farms in the Toppenish, WA. Amarillo® offers solid bittering properties in the 9-11% Alpha Acid range and it packs one of the highest myrcene oil contents (60-70% of total oils) of any hop. This gives it a very sweet citrus flavor and aroma that is closer to oranges than grapefruit. The citrus character is backed by some light floral notes as well as melon and peaches.

The HOPGUILD Amarillo® T-90 pellets will give you an amped up flavor and aroma with our low impact pelleting process that preserves more essential oils at lower temperatures. Flavor and Aromas of Grapefruit Spritz, Orange rind, Rich Tangerine and Wild Flower Meadows! We recommend using these in traditional Pale Ales, IPA’s (Any style), Lagers and anything your looking to add a citrus edge too!
