Notes
  • Tasting notes: Color is perfect. Clarity (whirlfloc + gel) really helped. Lacing and head are spot on. The bittering could come up a tick (from 60 to 70 perhaps.) Amarillo feels pretty orang'y and almost mellow! Maybe try the same recipe but swap some of the Amarillo for Cascade or event Centennial (more aggressively citrus'y.) I think using two "aroma" hops isn't enough. Something heavy hitting like Simcoe, Centennial, etc is needed for the heavy, hoppy backbone...

    Now to try Centennial instead of Citra and make the adjustments mentioned above: http://www.brewersfriend.com/homebrew/recipe/view/91377/hopstand-ipa-v4-centennial-amarillo
