First in a new series of single hopped American Pale Ales! Final Boss Simcoe has been hopped with four different Simcoe products. We used whole cone in the kettle, DynaBoost in the whirlpool, Cryo as a dry hop then liquid HyperBoost during cold conditioning. A real showcase of this wonderfully piney hop!

Can from Against The Grain. Hazy deep golden body with a thin off-white head. No visible carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of peach, cucumber and minerals. Flavour of papery malt and orange pith. Medium body with a slick mouthfeel. Soft fizz. This is a bit papery and pithy, similar to a couple of recent Elusive beers. I love this brewery but in my opinion the quality of output has dipped recently.

Cask at The Green Goddess, Blackheath Royal Standard. Piney, citrusy aromas, splash of apricot, quite nutty. Taste is a malty bitter mix of the above. Oaty bitter finish.
