With respectable alpha acid content (8-11%), Amarillo® can be a dual-purpose hop and contribute to bittering additions, but with its unique, highly sought-after aromas and flavors combined with high demand, it’s most often seen in late-kettle or whirlpool additions and as a dry hop. Amarillo® is intense and pungent. Red grapefruit overtones reminiscent of Cascade are overlaid with tropical fruit and ripe melon. It can contribute a renowed musty “dank†quality much prized by those who love it. Useful in styles such as pale ales, IPAs, and red ales. Similar varieties include Cascade and Centennial.
