- Tasting Notes
- Well balanced very sessionable light beer with just enough hop bitterness coming thru
I wanted to make a couple of lighter beers for my outdoor wedding in April with a simple and cheap grain bill, I finally ran across some Amarillo hops that i had been wanting to try and this is what i came up with.
I am really impressed with the Amarillo flavor even though I used less than an ounce for the batch. It shines through with just a enough bitterness. When i do this beer again i will move the second hop addition to somewhere around 5-10 minutes for more aroma. This is lawnmower enough for the BMC fans but packs a bit more flavor.
Mashed @ 148 for 60 minutes.
