Decided to cook a lush toad-in-the-hole for dinner last night (Saturday) marking the first weekend of lockdown V2.0. While it was cooking I cracked open a new (for me) can of "Saturated in Amarillo" by one of my favourite breweries DEYA (Cheltenham). Amarillo is one of the classic new wave "American hops", and is unusual to see used on it's own, it's usually paired with something more punchy like Citra or Mosaic. It imparts an orange/citrus background note to the beer but is not massively strong or pungent, it is however very distinct (in a good way!) A delicious beer that slipped down far, far to easily for it's 8% ABV price-tag, 500ml of this was, as the Rolls-Royce salesman replies when asked about the size of the engine, "sufficient"..
