AMARILLO Alpha acid 7-11% Ref: HOPAMAR0711 BREWING QUALITY Amarillo is a relatively new American hop variety that has been described as "super Cascade." The bitterness is between 8 and 11%, making Amarillo a good hop for flavor and aroma additions. The flavor profile is very citrusy, especially leaning toward a distinct orange flavor and aroma. Amarillo is found as well to be somewhat sweet until it mellows out in a beer. It should be used as aroma hop, but it could also be used as a bittering or a flavor hop. Proved to be a good fit for Pale Ales and IPAs. ORIGIN / HISTORY USA origin. This hop was reportedly introduced by Virgil Gamache Farms Inc. and is a result of a mutation of another hop variety.
