Well a 'hop in the hand is worth two in the bush'?
Guest 'HOPPER' Ian from BrewSkot Brewery added 30gms of Citra and 20gms of Amarillo (dry hop) to Brew 22- AIPA. mmmmm we liked to be hopped out of our heads!!!
Amarillo Hops
The resultant aroma is of medium strength and very distinct. The aroma is described as flowery, spicy and citrus-like with a distinct orange bouquet. The hop is good for flavor and aroma. It can also be used for bittering effectively because of the low cohumulone content.

Citra
Citra is a dual-purpose hop released in 2007 by the Hop Breeding Company. It is a cross of Hallertauer Mittelfruh, U.S. Tettnanger, East Kent Golding, Bavarian, Brewers Gold, and other unknown hops. Citra has a citrus aroma and flavor, with a heavy aroma of tropical fruits (guava, mango, tropical fruit). It is typically used as an aroma hop, but due to its high alpha % and low cohumulone content, it makes an excellent bittering hop as well.
