Citra Amarillo S04
Citra and Amarillo will start off my second small batch series. In the first series I used cascade and centennial hops.
To start of this series I wanted to use S04 as I did like that homebrew using that the most in the last series. So this batch used the following:
2 LBs 8 oz 2-Row
.25 oz Citra 60 min
.25 oz Amarillo 10 min
.25 oz Citra 5 min
S04 Yeast
.25 oz Citra and Amarillo dry hop 3 days
Color: Golden Yellow. Darker than I was thinking it would be
Smell: Hint of fruit with lemon citrus. Some grain smell
Taste: Sweet fruit upfront with some citrus in the middle. Bitterness is a little high.
Overall: Good homebrew. I would like to see the bitterness turned down a little. I think b/c of the bitterness you need more malt in this as the IBUs are high.
Tasting 2
Color: Yellow haze
Smell: Juicy fruit mango. Im picking up a hint of malt
Taste: Toasted malt juicy fruit mango citrus
Overall: I think the toasted malt is overdone in this beer. Maybe using less malt would have been best.
