Bottle thanks to bu11zeye. Pours with a large off-white head and a hazed golden body. Aroma is grassy, caramel, and tropical fruits (I love amarillo hops). Taste is grassy, bitter, with tropical fruit notes. Creamy carbonation. Very nice!

Courtesy of Blazer06. It pours clear deep gold with off white head. The aroma is spicy hops becoming sugar sweet malts and then into a modest level of pine hoppiness. The taste is spicy hops, with mostly bittering hops, moving into a touch of grapefruit and then earthy resiny hop bitterness. This has a nice pleasing load of hoppiness.

2010-03-02, draught at Ølbaren, 6-5-7-4-14=36
Cloudy amber color; creamy head. Nice aroma, fruity (citrus fruits, light grapefruit) and some ashes. Good body, at this gravity, dry toffee flavor; it has a strong bitterness, very resiny (almost harsh); I would prefer more sweetness and fruitness (but then all beers would taste the same). Aggressive.
2010-02-19, draught at Plan B, Copenhagen, 6-5-7-5-14=38
Beautiful color, light amber, cloudy; medium creamy head. The aroma is hoppy, cheesy (parmesan), lightly sweaty, not really fruity. Toffee flavor, more dry than sweet, followed by a strong hopping, moderately fruity (bitter oranges); the final is more resiny and tough. Solid IPA.

Hazy amber color; generous head. The aroma is moderately fruity and sweaty; nutty; it takes some time to fully develop. Good toffee flavor, a bit rounder than in some of the sister bottles; powerful hopping, with dry resins and hop oils, not much fruity. The final is very resiny. Aggressive but pleasant.

Pours blood orange into a snifter. Fluffy off-white head with excellent retention craters as it slowly recedes leaving spidered sheets. Sweet grapefruit and resin aromas. Tongue-stripping astringency upfront mellowing to a sweetened malt and lasting grapefruit finish.

Bottle, home. It’s a persimmon-colored beer with a huge pillowy head, like a thick whipped cream. The malt is way off somewhere in the background, pushing the hops front and center. It’s bitter, though definitely not the bitterest so far, with a big grapefruit rind note. Unlike Simcoe, which I would eat raw if it was cheaper, Amarillo doesn’t quite work by itself. However, it’s a pleasure to taste it alone here. Amarillo seems to have a sweet, candy orange flavor with a bitter grapefruit finish. It’s a bit one-dimensional, but this beer is a big help in identifying the flavor in other beers with a mix of hops.
