Just kegged a batch of this :
After a week I cranked the heat up to 80 and left it for 2 weeks. Hydro Sample was damn tasty. I really like the Amarillo / Mosaic Combo
OK so I have seen a couple mentions of grapefruit and a lot saying it is very fruity. 2 questions:
Is it a mild hint of grapefruit similar to a Bell's Two Hearted where it is present but kind of subdued or an underlying tone or does it leave you thinking there may actually have been grapefruits in the keg?
Second ? for those mentioning the fruit bomb. Is this complete fruity pebbles like a Blue Moon or a little more reasonable.
Your input would be appreciated! Sounds like it could be awesome in a wheat beer using German yeast to also pick up some banana and clove especially with summer just finally arriving. Just trying to decide when and how much to use.
Thanks!
Mosaic in a german hefe doesn't sound good, to me atleast.
just brewed a mosaic/amarillo pale ale. 2 oz each, staggered hopstand. Definitely getting the garlic/onion and earth.
Based on my experiences, I'd say the earthy aroma is the amarillo. My single hop mosaic was a pretty clean fruity profile. All my amarillo beers have had a grassy, earthy aroma, as have the commercial amarillo beers I've tasted recently.
