(growler,thanks Schutzenliesel) Clear amber body atop medium off-white head. Aroma is medium sweet, grapefruit, light pineapple, peach, caramel. Taste is mild sweet, grapefruit/pine, some grassy. Dry finish. Light-medium body, some acidity.

Growler acquired in trade with tytoanderso (as part of the Growler Swap v1) - thanks! Poured a medium and lightly hazy amber color with an averaged sized off white head. Aromas of citrus, pine, and I was getting a spiciness as well. Tastes of citrus, pine with some caramel and maltiness. Nice hoppiness.

Near crystal clear orange honey colored body. Weed-like stenchy (almost moldy) nose of twigs, pine needles, dry, fresh cut pine wood, and dry, grassy simcoe hops. Pineapple? Not so much, but I actually don’t get any pineapple in the Weyerbacher Double Simcoe either. Fresh, vibrant evergreen needles and dry, parched, crusty sap round this one out. A really solid, very hoppy pale ale that smells like an IPA. I don’t think it really deserves to be this high up on the APA list, but it’s still a solid pale ale for sure.

Copper color with a medium head. Incredibly floral aroma that was nearly a dead ringer for the local Como Zoo Observatory gardens! Pretty much the same for the taste. This may be my first big experience with Simcoe hops, and I must say I’m a fan. Just stupidly drinkable, though a little more malt to balance it out would probably make it more to my liking. If you want a solid and smashing pint of tasty hops, this is for you!

Poured a lightly hazy amber color with a medium sized, white head that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of floral hops, pine, citrus, a bit of toffee, and light toast as well. Taste was light caramel up front, more pine, light citrus, resin, and a dry, bitter, grapefruit finish.
