Meet Vera™, the newest public-release hop from USDA‑Agricultural Research Service in partnership with the Hop Research Council. Once designated HRC-003 or W1108-333, this variety delivers tropical, stone fruit, and citrus aromatics with a candy-like sweetness—think pineapple-flavored Life Savers in a hazy IPA.

Amarillo is a game-changer for our brews. The bright citrus punch especially the orange and grapefruit notes, bring our IPA to life. It's smooth and versatile and delivers the bold aroma we love.
