Description:
Amarillo IPA is a vibrant, hop-forward gluten-free IPA built entirely around the bright citrus and tropical character of Amarillo hops. Brewed with a clean base of sorghum syrup, raw sugar, and tapioca-derived maltodextrin, this recipe delivers a crisp body, firm bitterness, and expressive aroma while maintaining excellent balance and drinkability. Designed specifically for gluten-free brewing, the fermentable blend provides a smooth fermentation profile and a light, dry finish that allows the layered hop additions to shine. Bursting with notes of orange, grapefruit, and subtle floral tones, this IPA showcases how thoughtfully crafted gluten-free recipes can achieve bold flavor, clarity, and complexity without compromise.
