Background
Originally discovered as a wild hop in Washington state, Amarillo was developed and commercialized by Virgil Gamache Farms. Its popularity surged thanks to its bright citrus profile and balanced bitterness. The Cryo Hops® version isolates the aromatic lupulin glands, allowing brewers to use fewer pellets while achieving more intense aroma with minimal astringency. Amarillo remains a go-to hop for juicy, citrus-forward beers that still want a touch of floral complexity.
