I am looking for suggestions to maximize yeast tropical character. Thank you for your time.

I'm not sure if I would use that much corn sugar, but if you are using it to bump the ABV and lighten the body do it, as if is your beer.

Amarillo will probably go great in that beer.

I've got a Kviek with MI grown Chinook. It is really good.

Thank you.
In general I add about 20% to my saisons as I'm looking for high abv, dry beer. I did add flaked oats in my other recipe to add to the fullness of the mouthfeel.
For this specifically - would Amarillo and light body coupled with yeast character really overpower the rest ? I want it to come out balanced with the rye spiciness.

I think that will give you what you want. Brew it, see if you like it, let us know how it turned out.

I would also greatly reduce the corn sugar, FWIW. Also, your mention of flaked oats... I personally wouldn't use them in an extract beer, as there are no enzymes to convert the starches, so you're essentially just adding starch to the beer. Carapils or Carafoam would probably be the grains I would steep if I was just looking to add body and nothing else. The "boost" amount of sugar would probably be 8-12 oz, if I was brewing that. That said, if you already add 2 lbs of corn sugar to your beers and they taste good to you, then by all means keep doing it.
