Oppigård Amarillo, third batch

This recipe is also from the book [1] and the third batch of this beer and it is one of my favorite hopier beer. I think it is fun to brew single hop beers since you learn to recognize the taste and aroma of a single hop at a time. The aroma of Amarillo is described as flowery, spicy and citrus-like with a distinct orange bouquet.

Result

The beer was a success even this time. It has been two weeks since brewday and the beer is already really good, but I think a week of storage will make it even better.
