1.00 oz Amarillo [9.50 %] - Boil 1.0 min

I had to post this recipe in here (first one in a long time I've posted in the database!) because it turned out so well! Per this thread: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f12/brewing-new-apa-today-410696/, I wanted an easy drinking hoppy beer with lower ABV for summer.
I did 5 gallons with Denny's Favorite 50 (Wyeast 1450) and while I like it, the Wyeast 1272 is just better.
I used a nearly "pale ale" water profile for this, with this water profile:
Ca- 139
Mg- 10
Na- 3
S04- 240
Cl- 49
Mash pH was 5.47
The flavor is quite "lively" per Bob, and the hops work very well together. It has a fresh flavor, not sweet, and not too dry, with a great hops aroma. The head retention is wonderful, and the Wyeast 1272 produced a very clear beer quickly.
