Jarrylo Hops

Jarrylo hops, named after the Slavic god of fertility and springtime, Jarilo, are a unique variety bred by the American Dwarf Hop Association. The parentage of Jarrylo includes Summit and other ADHA varieties. This hop variety is known for its strong fruit aromatics and is a dual-purpose hop that can be used in all hop additions throughout the brewing process. However, its large oil fraction, particularly humulene and myrcene, and unique aromatics make it very well-suited to late, whirlpool, or dry hop additions. It is a good choice for pales and IPAs, saisons, and other hop-forward Belgian styles.

Jarrylo hops have aroma descriptors that include strong lemon lime, orange, pear, banana, and mild spice. Some reviewers also notice a clean bright white wine aroma. Despite being marketed as a non-IPA hop, it has found its place in the brewing of IPAs, where it contributes complex fruit flavors. However, when used on its own, Jarrylo tends to work better in lighter or crisper beer styles, where the hop profile isn’t quite so urgent and conspicuous.
