Man oh man, this one is one of a kind. My goodness! The only bad thing to say about this one is that it couldv’e been a little smoother on the palate. I know that’s a lot to ask but I couldn’t find any other thing wrong with it. Absolutely one of my favorites now. To sad It’s not available in Tx.

Bottle. Pours amber with off white/yellow head. Aroma is citrus and floral/grassy. Flavor is bitter hops grapefruit, orange. Finish is bitter and alcohol.

Bottle, Lancaster Beer Festival... the overall balance and flavor is amazing... floral and hoppy, not too bitter... Simcoe Hops are great...

Bottle from Discount Liquors. Pours an attractive Deep bronze-red, a lot like Gordon. Nice off-yellow head. Nose isn’t as strong as I would have expected, though that could be due to the burnt bread in the kitchen. NOse is grassy and slightly citric. In my experience there is little to no pine coming off of a simcoe hop, just a very floral, albeit slightly resinous aroma. (I know, resinous sounds like pine, but it’s not). Taste is crushingly bitter, lots of citrus, followed by crisp, not astringent, bitterness. This is much more bitter than the beers I’ve brewed with Simcoe, likely due to amounts and way used. But this is a very nice hop, minimal grassiness in taste. Distinct alcohol and a thick body (which is expected.) Exceptional IIPA.

Bottle thanks to hopscotch. Pours a deep amber color with a large white head and lots of lacing. The aroma is great; loads of sweet pine and citrus hops.The flavor was also great; initially this is quite a hop bomb. The simcoe hope are very full and ripe, like biting a handful or fresh hops. There is also a strong caramel malt that adds balance. Perhaps my favorite aspect is the full and very creamy mouthfeel. Just delicious. If we could get this in Utah I’d be a happy man. I’m proud of my home state for producing such great beer.
