Features:

  • An American dual-purpose hop variety with strong alpha acid content
  • It is often used in late kettle additions, whirlpool additions and in dry-hopping
  • Has an intense red grapefruit character reminiscent of Cascade with a tropical fruit and rip melon quality
  • Origin: USA

Details: Amarillo is intense and pungent. Red grapefruit overtones reminiscent of Cascade are overlaid with tropical fruit and ripe melon. It can contribute a renowned musty "dank" quality much prized by those who love it. Also known as VGXP01, the Amarillo variety is exclusively managed by Virgil Gamache Farms of Toppenish, WA, where it was originally found growing wild in 1998. With respectable alpha acid content, Amarillo can be a dual-purpose hop and contribute to bittering additions, but with its unique, highly sought-after aromas and flavors combined with high demand, it's most often seen in late-kettle or whirlpool additions and as a dry hop.
