AMARILLO HOPS

Virgil Gamache Farms accidentally discovered the Amarillo hop variety in 1990 when they found it growing alongside their Liberty hop field. They began cultivating it in 1991, then patented it as a new variety in 2003. After being originally patented as VGXP01, it was released to the public shortly afterward. Amarillo is also known as Amarillo Gold.
