On tap at the 2007 Sly Fox IPA Project Day... Appears an orange toned amber with a small head white fizz that quickly fades out into a mild cap. Streaks of lacing are left around the glass. Smell is of herbs, minerals, weird cat urine, pine, and grapefruit. Taste is of the mentioned aromas...Amarillo is one of my favorite hops but it can be a bit peppery and overbearing at times. It does ok in this beer though. Mouthfeel is medium bodied, spicy, and dry.

Clear orange/ amber color. Nice sized white head with good lacing. Piney hop resin aroma and taste. Bitter hop finish.

Tap at HDG. Deep amber beer with a thick white head. Nice piny/resiny nose, a bit of fruity grapefruity character. Very resiny bitterness. Malts play a backing note in this one for sure. Resiny and very dry on the back. Nice beer and one of the better examples from this single hop project. Doesn’t taste anything like any Amarillo-hopped beer I’ve had before though with little of the bright mango/tropical fruit that I’ve come to associate with this hop. Still, I’m not complaining about a solid IPA.

Draft at HDG. Deep orange in color with a nice white head. Citrusy and piney aroma. Orangey and grapefruit notes. Malty and hoppy flavor. Citrusy floral notes. Smooth tasting. Finish is bitter. Medium bodied. Sweet. Very drinkable.

Draft @ HDG. Orange amber color with a small but sturdy head. Since I love Amarillo, this should be a joy and it is. Citrus yeah but theres a nice smooth maltiness that balances everything out nicely. Nice floral notes and a warming finish.
