Dry and light-bodied to better showcase the individuality of the hops in both aroma and flavour. A basic recipe is followed, with each batch utilising different hop varieties from around the world based on seasonality, availability, and the whims of the brewer.

33 cl. bottle sampled @ ’t Antwaerps Bierhuyske. Courtesey of Kraddel. THX! Bottled on 10/09/2013. Slightly hazy golden with a solid white head. Full on hoppy nose, grapefruit, flowers, faint floral, very nice. Taste is one big single hop note, very nice, good lever of bitterness, grapefruit, flowers, faintly floral in the back + Kernel yeast but not too dominating. Very solid stuff, easy to drink. Another solid Kernel.

Bottled, date 10.09.13 BB 10.01.14, large sample. Hazy golden color, big white head. Aroma of grapefruit, bit citrus, bit pine, slight grassy and flowery (like opening a bag of freshly dried hop). Firm bitter taste. I almost forgot how great Amarillo is with all these new hop varieties. Time to order some for homebrewing!

Bottle @ home thanks to jmgreenuk. Clear yellow to light orange color, medium sized off - white head that lasts for a decent while. Aroma is lovely hoppy, fruity and a slight malty touch. Taste lightly malts, hops, light to moderately grapefruit, lightly tropical fruits, moderately bitter. Lovely balanced, full flavoured, easy to drink beer. Love it!

Bottle from the brewery drunk at home. 5.6% version. Hazy amber lasting white head. It has a subtle grapefruit flavour. Some bitterness on the finish with a lasting yellow grapefruit flavour that is really quite biting on the finish. As I’ve said before, the pale ales are consistently better since they moved breweries. Love the finish on this.
