Amarillo DIPA-ish – ABV 9.3%
The way to Amarillo is lined with Saaz Hops reminiscent of a Pilsner, accompanied with orange, grapefruit pine and strong alcohol warmth.
Look: Clear in the bottle, it pours slightly hazy with a long lasting white head.
Aroma: The Saaz Hops initially put you in mind of a Czech Pilsner, but with an almost equal amount of citrus and pine; and these are the flavours that become more dominant in the taste.
Taste: Bursting with orange, grapefruit and the warmth of alcohol it becomes increasingly DIPA-like on the palette. It is everything a double IPA ought to be, and a little bit more besides.
Food pairing: This beer works really well with Indian food. Try it with the fresh green chillies of a Jalfrezi.
