This is a damn fine beer. I had only intended to dry hop it for 2 weeks, but my deck project got in the way and I ended up dry hopping for 5 weeks. The result is a very interesting, fruity Pale Ale. I've never dry hopped for this long, and it seems that leaving them in there for that long caused some of the Amarillo character to take over the palate. There's a mild orange/grapefruit presence in the palate that plays a background role to the hop character. The nose is just what you'd expect from a beer that had 2 oz of Amarillo in it for 5 weeks.
If you're a fan of Amarillo, this is the beer for you.
