Amarillo Pellet Hops

NOTE: Packaging either YCH or LD Carlson

Amarillo hops originated in the U.S. and brings a relatively high alpha acid kick to the table ranging from 9% to 11%. This particular variety is packed with citrus aroma and flavour making it a great dual purpose hops. The myrcene oil content within the cone is some of the highest, and this explains its grapefruit and orange flavour. This myrcene level can also contribute a metallic flavour to the beer if used in abundance.
