Regular.
Zeus are very similar, if not the same, as columbus. I've used them to dry hop an APA. I'd agree with pungent with a definite C-hop character.
Just realised, Wez, that it wasn't an American Amber that I used Zeus for - it was an American-style ESB. Modelled after Redhook's ESB
In any case, here's the recipe if you're still interested. I really liked it, personally - malty, but slightly sweet; good bitterness.
Cascadia ESB
Original Gravity: 1.055
Measured Original Gravity: 1.016
Estimated Alcohol by Vol: 4.99 %
Bitterness: 48.0 IBU
Est Color: 12.4 SRM (24 ECB)
Grains:
11.75 lb Pale Malt (3.0 SRM) 90.73 %
1.20 lb Caramel/Crystal Malt - 70-80L (75.0 SRM) 9.27 %
Hops:
1.00 oz Zeus [16.40 %] (60 min) 48.0 IBU
0.75 oz Cascade [7.20 %] (0 min)
1.00 oz Williamette [5.10 %] (Dry Hop 14 days)
1.00 tsp Irish Moss (Boil 10.0 min)
1 Pkgs London ESB Ale (Wyeast Labs #1968) - planned for this, but actually used 1098. Would use 1968 from now on.
Cheers and beers.
