Amarillo Single Malt Pale Ale
 

This is a very drinkable beer that has a nice hop character and a bit of malt background. I love the grapefruit notes in this beer. It is quite smooth and drinkable. For you hop heads, I would recommend a significant increase of all scheduled hop additions. I prefer it the way it is because it is quite drinkable. This is definitely NOT an IPA. I call it "American" pale ale because of the Amarillo.
The malt is Maris Otter and 2 pounds of it was toasted in a 275 degree oven for 30 minutes. (Dudes technique)
