I brewed this two weeks ago and pulled a sample just now while moving to secondary. The malts play nicely together and the amarillo gives an unexpected initial aroma that meshes well with the mouthfeel and flavor. The finish is pleasant and refreshing. It'll be nice to see how this one turns out. This is likely one I'll be repeating.

This has gotten even better since bottling. Anyone willing to swap to critique?
