To showcase the fantastic attributes of Amarillo Fresh Hops, we decided to go crazy and dry-hop our beer with 200 pounds. Also, to really get as much out of the hops as possible, we used liquid nitrogen to freeze and crush them, releasing all the lupulin goodness held inside the hop cones. Lastly, we fermented the beer with a wild yeast strain for a little funk and to bring out the citrus and stone fruit character of Amarillo.

Can from the brewery
Cloudy golden color, a bit dull. The hop aroma is immediate, as we open the can; it gives orange, grass, hay, chamomile, hint of grapefruit, of incense, of crusty bread; very interesting (8 points plus 0.5 for the originality).
Correctly structured, with mild residual sweetness, the malt base is a bit husky and bready, the hop as expected is quite herbaceous, but it has some resiny quality, bitter orange peel; the yeast has quite some character, some astringency, not sure it is harmonious with that hop character though.
Good, but missing some harmony.

Hazy, amber, thin, bubbly head. Assertive brett and weedy hop nose. Bitter, bright marijuana hops, and a fair bit of brett as well. Still nice balancing sweetness. Really a pleasure to drink.

On tap at Powell, pours a cloudy bright golden yellow with a small off-white head. Aroma smells like a pot dispensary, with tons of herbal, dank hops, with considerable funk. Flavour follows suit, with tons of marijuana, dank hops and a very funky character that adds to the pot impression. Nice stuff.
