Once an “insider tip,” Vic Secret® has earned its place as a standout dual-purpose Australian hop. With the same ancestry as Topaz™, it delivers bold pineapple, passionfruit, and pine character—especially when used late in the whirlpool or dry hop. Early additions bring out a charming earthiness, making it a versatile choice for everything from Pale Ales and IPAs to Stouts and Porters.

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.
