Description

Flavor & Aroma Profile
Simcoe is a dual-purpose hop that can be used in all hop additions throughout the brewing process.

Alongside its fruity and slightly earthy aromas, specific descriptors of the Simcoe hop includes grapefruit, passion fruit, pine and berry characteristics. In addition to its great bittering qualities, the Simcoe hop variety – often referred to as “Cascade on steroids” – is known for its tropical fruit flavors. It is commonly used in India pale ales and pale ales.

Simcoe is frequently used for bittering due to its high alpha acid percentages, but can be used as a late addition as well to bring out more fruity aromas. It has since become one of the most popular hops for both the craft beer and homebrewing industries. At 12%-14% Alpha Acid, Simcoe adds a smooth bitterness, but also packs a punch of stone fruit, pine, and citrus zest aromas. It truly is a dual purpose hop that is capable of standing on its own in single-hopped beers in a wide range of styles.
