Amarillo hops?

I know this is kind of answering my own post but...if you go to www.basicbrewing.com I discovered that they have podcasts for itunes. One was on experimenting with different hops off of a basic 5 gallon batch. Basically the brewer took a 5 gallon batch, split it into five 1 gallon batches, and dry hopped each one. They go thru a taste testing of each one, hops used were cascade, amarillo, centennial, simcoe, and columbus. amarillo was described as having more of a floral sweet aroma, along with taste, lighter on the pallet as well. Anyway, if you have an ipod and belong to the 21st century I recommend listening to some of the podcasts. I enjoy them atleast while sitting at work...often making my wouth water as they describe some of the flavors. oh..the podcast is free.

Thanks for the heads up on the pod cast.  I was considering doing something similar to this with ingredients I wanted to try out too.

 

Boulder Brewing Co. uses Amarillo's in thier Mojo IPA. Very good! Try blending them with noble hops to get an interesting hop complexity. Good sweet citrusy flavor with a spicy finish. Makes for a great APA, EPA or IPA.

 

The Ram Brewery has a beer that they call Big Red IPA.  It is great!  The Amarillo has an amazing flavor...as was said earlier, like super-Cascade.  Here is how they describe the Big Red IPA:

"An American style IPA, our Big Red combines the distinctive and assertive citrus flavor and aroma of Amarillo hops with a crisp, pleasantly bitter finish."

I'm not sure if you have a Ram Brewery close by.  They are in Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Indiana, and here in lovely Illinois.  If you are ever in the Chicago area, there are three different locations.  Check out www.theram.com.
