Description

What is Amarillo?

Amarillo hops, a cherished American variety, are known for their high myrcene content, contributing to their intensely citrus and floral aroma. Often likened to a juicier version of Cascade, Amarillo provides brewers with a signature tangerine essence and a delightful aromatic complexity.

How to Use Amarillo:

Amarillo excels as an aroma hop, showcasing its potent citrus and floral bouquet when added late in the boil or during whirlpool and dry-hopping stages. For those seeking a rounded bitterness, its moderate alpha acid level makes it suitable for bittering as well.

  • Bitter Hop:
    While Amarillo's alpha acid levels can handle early-stage bittering, its smooth, mellow bitterness is better suited for balance than aggressive sharpness.
  • Aroma Hop:
    Amarillo’s signature citrus burst – primarily orange and tangerine – combined with soft herbal undertones, makes it a standout choice for late boil additions and dry hopping.
  • Dry Hop:
    Dry hopping with Amarillo intensifies its tangerine, grapefruit, and floral elements, giving beers a fresh, vibrant character perfect for hop-forward styles.

Flavour Profile:

Amarillo’s flavour is dominated by juicy orange and zesty grapefruit, balanced by floral and slightly herbal nuances.

Combining with Other Hops:

Amarillo pairs exceptionally well with hops like Cascade, Simcoe, and Citra, creating layered flavours of citrus, tropical fruit, and pine. Its bright and juicy notes complement more resinous or earthy hops, adding depth and complexity.

Benefits of Amarillo:

Amarillo’s versatility and bold yet balanced flavour make it a favourite in modern craft brewing. Its ability to shine as both a standalone and blending hop ensures its presence in various beer styles.

Substituting:

  • Substituting Amarillo: If Amarillo isn’t available, Cascade or Citra can provide similar citrus-forward characteristics with slight variations in intensity.
  • Amarillo as a Substitute: Amarillo can replace other citrusy hops like Cascade, Centennial, or even Mandarina Bavaria when a juicy tangerine profile is desired.
