I lucked out and got just enough Amarillo and Simcoe to brew this and a Pliny Clone. Doing the Lake Walk with organic grains and a tiny bit of Citra in the dry hop; can't wait!
A real bummer that these hops are so good and in such short supply. Chinook and Centennial can get "in the ballpark", but nothing is really the same.
Dude - Thanks for the recipe. By far my favorite of everything I've made so far.
I'm amazed at how quickly the hop flavor changes. It seems that every few days I can detect a slightly differnt hop character. I just wish I could figure out how to lock it at what I think is the sweet spot where the citris is right in your face without being over the top. Would dry hopping longer help maintain that a bit longer do you think? I've been dry hopping for 7 and then 10 days on the next batch. Would you try longer?
Brewed this last week and tasted my (pre-dry-hopping) hydrometer sample. Really, really good. I can't wait to try it once it's finished and in the bottle.
Made this for the first time. With less than a week in the keg (dry hopping with just a pinch of Citra added), it's headed to be my new favorite! This is as close as it gets getting IIPA flavors and aromas in a Pale Ale. My liver thanks you!
I want to try this recipe. But I gave a question. The recipe says 2 row brewers malt. Is that 2 row pale malt? Also, the toasted pale malt. Is that just more of the pale malt that is toasted? Thanks for the info!

Absolutely delicious! Smells like Sweetwater IPA.
I can't wait to try it. I tried sweetwater a month back and that got me looking for a good pale ale recipe. CAN NOT WAIT! Moving to the secondary tonight!
