Amarillo Hops are a popular variety of hop used in brewing, known for their distinct citrus and floral aroma. Developed in the 1990s in the United States, they are often used in pale ales, IPAs, and other craft beers. Amarillo hops contribute a balanced bitterness and a unique flavor profile that enhances the overall taste of the beer. These hops are characterized by their high alpha acid content, which ranges from 8% to 11%. This makes them effective for both bittering and aroma purposes. Brewers appreciate Amarillo hops for their versatility and ability to complement a wide range of beer styles.
