I've been a bit iffy on hallertau I don't seem to enjoy the beers I make with it
Really? Examples?? Ive found if I overuse it it can be really yucky, but used in small amounts in something like a schwarz or roggenbier works really well IMO
I made a blonde ale with hallertau @ 10 + 0mins that had a rosewatery sort of taste
And have a american wheat on tap at the moment with cascade and hallertau in combination - that's not just right
Not sure if it's just my taste preference but I think I prefer other noble hops
Looking through my notes it seems that the darker styles I've used hallertau in I didn't detect that same flavour as much
Cheers
Edit: Just noticed a Pilsener in my notes with 65g of hallertau in it that I remember being very nice - I think its just certain batches that have turned me off it
:icon_offtopic: I had my last bottle of Unspeakable APA last night, which contains a load of late Amarillo, I had the first pint which was enjoyed so much, and then I spilt the full second pint all over my bedroom carpet..
Now normally I wouldnt mind, but now my room reeks of Amarillo, and I cant get any in NZ at the mo, its like the smell is mocking me <_<

I use Hallertau all the time and don't think it would work with amarillo. If your going to though I would use the Hallertau for bitering and the amarillo for a 20min flavour addition. Just my thoughts on it though.

You drink in your bedroom. HA. Thats dedication.
iv skimmed over most of this but i heard that NZ cascade and NZ hallertau are used for murrays pale ale so maybe use some nz hallertua could be a bit more dominant than the noble hallertau.. my 2 cents
