An old Maritime Pacific fall favorite. Maritime’s XPA (Extra Pale Ale) Fresh Wet Hop utilizes fresh hops from the Virgil Gamache Farms in the Yakima Valley. This years 2021 Amarillo hops were picked and brewed into our XPA on the same day. The fresh Amarillo hops along with Pale and Crystal malts, create a Pale with a distinct Citrus and Grapefruit flavor throughout the beer.

Northwest Beer Guide
Coveted for its bold orange- or tangerine-like flavor and aroma, this variety was discovered by Washington’s Virgil Gamache Farms. Though it’s most popular for dry-hopping, Amarillo® is versatile enough to be used for bittering, too.
