One of the best single hops IPAs I have had and maybe Mikkellers best? Aroma of lots of red grapefruit and citrus. The taste is similar. The taste of the malt balance up all the hops in a good way.

3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Dark golden color with a nice head. This ale really celebrates the Simcoe hop. Nice citrus and somewhat spicy aroma although the ale shows signs of aging. I imagine this ale would fare even better with a fresher ale. Balanced malts to back it up - but it doesn’t steal any spotlight from the hop profile. A very nice single hop.
4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Aroma is yeast, citrus/lemon zest and pine. The flavor is grapefruit, malts, fruit undertones and a very bitter finish.
