Amarillo SMaSH 11°

The hop variety Amarillo was bred by a farm of Virgil Gamache Farms Inc. in the end of 20th century in the shadow of Washington state volcanos, directly in the heart of American Pacific Northwest, a region that stood by the birth of micro-brewing as we know it today. This sort has shown itself to be very characteristic, yet universal, unique and still typical for innovative American beers. We grew to love it in our brewery and, in combination with other sorts, it is present in our beers such as American Pale Ale, American Amber Ale, American Brown Ale, Black IPA, Double IPA, Belgian Wheat IPA and American Wheat and Rye, where it plays its part in each individual’s symphony of flavors and aromas. To uncover the full potential of Amarillo hops, we brew a lighter beer of the APA style and in the way of SMaSH Single Malt and Single Hop. The result is a very simple and perfectly legible beer serving the taster to unveil the properties of this specific hop variety. Among the most significant features of the American Amarillo hops is a prominent orange peel aroma and pleasant, yet longlasting bitterness.
