I wanted a bit more bitterness, and obviously a more citrusy hop aroma.<br /><br />The flavor of a beer like this is so freshness dependent, really ideal to homebrew!The Mad Fermentationist (Mike)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07379932734747507258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8066877917844499643.post-92075673063966616382012-08-19T03:09:53.171-04:002012-08-19T03:09:53.171-04:00What, if any, current hoppy wheat were you aiming ...What, if any, current hoppy wheat were you aiming for?<br /><br />I ask only because I brewed up a Gumballhead "clone" with a friend recently. Our recipe was almost identical but we used only Amarillo hops. (I say "clone" because we were going off an assumption of all Amarillo hops, and it came out fantastic -- better than 3Floyd's IMO).<br /><br />I'm betting the result was pretty much the same. Citra hops add a bit of different character than Amarillo that is more than complementary.Kylehttp://www.kylevester.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8066877917844499643.post-22271351621290479022012-08-18T09:38:22.430-04:002012-08-18T09:38:22.430-04:00The recipes were very similar, I changed the cryst...The recipes were very similar, I changed the crystal malts from the first to the second, but other than that the malt/fermetation was about the same.

It's my understanding that ASBC is trying to develop a method of analysis for just that very issue.
