    Sadly on my last can of GD and Mosaic. GD is tasting great. Though the mosaic is a little tamer than last week.

    I'm down to 1 AGE and 1 Mosaic! "Dance me through the panic 'til I'm gathered safely in"

    Glad they are finally posting tap lists to instagram. Why the other account though? Wouldn't it be easier to just throw it up on their current account when it changes or once a week. Just my .02.

    Anyone know what is Amarillo like? It is fruity like Mosaic and Citra or dry like Galaxy?

    From Untappd: Whoa. Equal parts juicy and bitter hops. Another fantastic OH single hop IPA. Almost on mosaic level.

    I had it last night and immediately got orange notes. I don't believe I have ever had an Amarillo single-hop beer before. When I googled the hop profile I saw a few mentions of tangerine, which make sense. Also as I posted on untappd there was a lemon and grapefruit component on the middle and a nice bitter back end. Didn't get the Mosaic similarities. Sometimes when I have OH IPAs when they just come on, I find I have trouble picking everything out, and it is not until a week later when I revisit, am I able to pick up more subtle characteristics.

    Beau - I didn't put two and two together last night. I was in the blue shirt, we talked about Tree House. Good luck in MPLS.

    Nice to meet you! To clarify I didn't mean that the Amarillo tastes similar to Mosaic but that I enjoyed it nearly as much as I like Mosaic (one of my favorite OH beers). Cheers!

    Thanks for the intel. I bought a case of Galaxy and it was a mistake. Dry bitter hops do nothing for me; I gotta have the juice. Hopefully they'll have some Amarillo on tap so I can try before I buy.

    I think Amarillo is the main hop in AGE. So there's that to consider.

    Amarillo is sweet and presents tangerine, orange, grapefruit....

    For some consolation, and to put this into perspective, Alpine Duet is brewed with Amarillo, and "was" one of my fav's (pre Green Flash). Other things to consider: Tree House Alter Ego, FFF Gumblehead, etc.........let's get pumped

    What? No one is in line yet? :stuck_out_tongue:

    The Amarillo was tasting nice off the canning line yesterday. Very smooth.

    I'm sure all the train delays are helping subside the crowd, too

    I just got off the G train (previously derailed) and had no issues or wait time
