Sep 17, 2009 I absolutely love the Simcoe hop, and Weyerbacher has done an excellent job at . I’m terribly lucky to have Pliny the Elder easily available year round, not to mention the many other great California DIPAs and IPAs. Even with all those great choices, I wouldn’t hesitate to put this beer in my normal hops lineup if it were distributed out here. The Simcoe hop has a wonderfully complex flavor. It’s citric, piny and floral all at once. The feel is a tad dry, but it hardly detracts. The malt backbone is able to stand up to the assault of hops and lend enough sweetness to bring out the full flavor of the hops. I’m enjoying this beer very, very much.

Sep 15, 2009 Pours amber with a nice off white head. Aroma is big citrusy hop with hints of tropical fruits and crazy resiny mango. Flavor is big bitter citrusy grapefruit along with a big mango like body/armpit flavor, but in a good way if that makes sense. Awesome stuff.

Sep 11, 2009 On tap at Kickbacks. Holy sheeeet. I’m in love with Simcoe hops. Pours a cloudy orange with a small eggshell
head with good retention and lacing. Aroma is pineapple, tropical fruit juice. Taste is giant pineapple, citrus, mango- moves more towards spice, booze, and herbal hops. Great sheety lacing. Aftertaste moves to a big, long, bitter, resiny, alpha acid finish. Excellent.

Sep 9, 2009 Bottle. I’ll confess that I’m not the biggest fan of Simcoe hops, which taste like nothing but grapefruit rind to me. Even if they didn’t name it, it would be obvious that that’s what they used. There’s a little bit of caramel warmth to the beer to help it out, and it is very well made for what it is. I didn’t dislike it, but I can’t quite gush over it, and won’t be seeking it out.

Sep 3, 2009 On tap at Stubby and Steins in Gainesville, FL. Poured an attractive cloudy orange with a persistent off-white head. Smelled citrusy (grapefruity) and clean. Big hoppy, bitter taste. Like a class of spruce needles.

Sep 3, 2009 Clear orange/copper color with a fleeting head. Fresh cannabis bud aromas. Medium body. Big grapefruit piney hop bitter flavors on a thin caramel malt base - not near enough malt sweetness to balance the bitter hop flavors... Thanks Brad for this bottle.
