Anyone mixed Simcoe and Amarillo?

[gibbocore]

You should, the results are heavenly.

piney, citrusy, and with that sweet honey flavour from the amarillo, all combined on a canvass of munich/crystal/MO, with a hint of melanoiden. If anyone wants the recipe, hit me up. I had a super efficiant mash so i got 23 liters out of this one at 1055, so i think i'll be bottling it and entering it in some comps. I'm super impressed with it. I guess it would end up being an American amber.

Agreed! I have a 50IBU Amber ale with them in it and the pre-kegged sampler tasted excellent!

Cheers,

whoa, 50 ibu? Any other hop and i'd be scared off, but the simcoe bittering is so smooth, that must have a refreshing finish.

I'm about to make an IPA with horizon, centennial, simcoe and amarillo 1064 SG and 64 IBUs... I bought simcoe a while back, but havent used it yet... and also i'm trying to make pale ales with hops other than cascade in it...

[gibbocore]

I'd pin simcoe as being fairly similar to cascade, in that your still get your citrus only witha more fresh pine flavour as well.
