Not to rain on your amaillo parade, but I've read this hop can be overwhelming when used on its own. Centennial, Columbus work great on their own....if only I could find some.

I think doing these are great but I wouldn't want 5 gallons of it. IMHO

So then what would you suggest? I've done a centennial SMaSH before, maybe Citra?

And I can get centennial and Columbus from my LHBS they might be able to do a ship option? It's called Home Beer Wine & Cheese

Sounds good to me, I say SMaSH it!!! Currently drinking a Vienna/Warrior SMaSH. I was afraid it would be undrinkable but I was wrong. Glad I have a keg to drink off for a while

4 people in this thread have made SMaSH's with Amarillo and had excellent results. I've seen Yooper post in several threads that her favorite combo is MO/Amarillo.
