How did this turn out Roob? I bought a pound of Amarillo and have brewed three batches with it. I am not very impressed, kinda mellow. However, mine isn't anywhere near 9% AAU, it is more around 4%. I am partial to that "slap you in your face" character of columbus or one of those 12+% AAU hops in my IPAs.

How did the roasting work out?

Sorry to be so late responding, I didn't see this until just now. It turned out great; I've brewed it twice now!

Only 4% AAU?! That ain't right! You need to at least double up on that. The 9% gives it a nice, hoppy flavor. Citrusy, but not as much as Cascade. I really like it and it has become my favorite IPA of all that I've brewed.

The only thing I plan to change is the dry-hop phase. It obviously won't affect the taste, but I plan to double the hops to at least 2 oz. This current version has that smack-in-the-nose hop aroma, but it fades over time. Maybe doubling the hops will make it last longer. I used that amount of hops when I brewed Brewpastor's 777 and it seemed to make a difference.

Anyone else brew this? How did it compare?
