Which hop variety has citrus aroma characteristics?

• A. Target
• B. Cluster
• C. Amarillo
• D. Progress

Answer: (C)

Amaro is chosen because its aroma profile is distinctly citrus-forward, especially orange and citrusy notes. This comes from its essential oils, which give a bright, zesty citrus character when used for late hop additions or dry hopping. The other hops tend toward different flavors—Target brings spicy/herbal and resinous qualities, Cluster is milder with earthy/ woody notes, and Progress is less citrusy and more balanced—so Amarillo best fits a request for a citrus aroma.
