Yields a slightly higher extract than Six Rox brewers Malt. Tends to give a smoother, less grainy flavored beer. Some brewers claim they can detect a significant difference in flavor. Lower protein and will yield a lower color than Six-Row Brewers Malt

This beer is nice. The final flavors are really hop driven, and this is the first time I have used Amarillo. I was shooting for spicy and citrusy, but got earthy and citrusy and very floral. Still quite nice, though. Aroma and flavor are at the right levels, as is bitterness. The hop flavor and aroma somehow make me think European lager, like Carlsberg. Next version, 1968 ale, try to dry it out, add a little rye, try a spicy hop.
