Description
Amarillo hops are valued for their distinctive citrusy, floral, and tropical fruit aroma and flavor profile. Common descriptors include orange, tangerine, grapefruit, and sometimes even apricot and peach. These hops can contribute both a burst of hoppy aroma and a pleasant bitterness to beer.
Amarillo hops have gained popularity among home brewers and commercial beer brewers for their ability to contribute a unique and appealing aroma and flavor to a wide range of beer styles. They are considered a versatile and valuable hop variety in the craft beer world.
If they are not available, some brewers might use other hop varieties like Simcoe, Centennial, or Cascade as substitutes to achieve a similar citrusy and floral hop aroma and flavour.
They are particularly popular in American-style ales and IPAs, where their citrusy and fruity notes can shine.
Amarillo Hop Pellets can also be used in other beer styles, including stouts, porters, and Belgian ales, to add a unique twist to the flavour profile.
