Conditioning and Hop flavor

[MESmith]

Does the Hop flavor mellow with conditioning in a wheat beer? I made the AHS Belgian White Ale and it uses Amarillo hops. I bottled one week ago after a week in the primary and 2 weeks in the secondary. Carbonation is OK but has a strong grapefruit flavor. Will this lessen with time?

Yes. From bottling day to first taste go 21 days with the beer at 70°F. The hop flavor will be more mellow later.

When I ordered the AHS belgian wit recipe it included cascade hops.....interesting.

I think they ran out of Cascades

What do you want? Orange or grapefruit? Amarillo will tone down. My 3CPA tasted like grapefruit juice for three months.
