Famarillo
Town Hall Brewery

 

Here's one that was released at the brewery last Monday, but I couldn't get a growler of it then, because, well, they hadn't gotten around to filling them yet. So, I picked one up a week later, and I'm finally opening it now. Falconer's Flight and Amarillo hops= Famarillo.

Clear, bold amber/bronze, slim white head.

In the nose: Citrus and pine, all the time. Grapefruit and lime, similarly in a regular, timely fashion.

In the mouth: All the hops are here, and they're buzzing the palate with bitterness. Nice and mellow, but fully flavored. Easy drinking, with a long, hoppy, bitter finish. This is just the way I like it. If you want to sell me on an IPA, this is exactly how to do it. Mmm, mmm, mmm.

In actual fact, it is: yum, yum, yum a dum dum.

On tap. White head. Lots of lace. Golden color.

Floral hops and some sweetness. Earthy, piney, and some bitterness. Orange peel and some grapefruit. Bready malts. Orange creamsicle finish.
