We love the piney, fruity flavors of Simcoe® hops. This is a classic pale ale, single-hopped and dry-hopped with Simcoe. We cold condition this beer and give it a restrained malt profile, so the hops really pop, like flora in spring. Our friends Patrick, Jason and Brad grow these luscious hops and we hope you enjoy them as much as we do.

Spruce nose, delightfully strong. Clear amber, no head. Spruce and pine flavor. Piney, sessionable, and not overdone. Fresh and green, little backbone, but that’s ok.

12oz bottle pours copper in color with semi loose white head. The aroma offers up spicy hops, tangelo like citrus hops and a touch of grapefruit. The taste is similar with spicy hops, floral hops and a moderate hop bitterness that intermingles with lesser amounts of citrus hops. Toward midway and into the finish the flavor hoppiness and mild malt sweetness fade and leave a lingering bitter hoppiness. The body is on the thin sessionable side which certainly works well for this session beer.

12oz bottle. Poured a copper color with a medium sized white head. Aroma was grassy, with notes of floral and earthy hops. Flavor was pine, notes of herbs. A pretty good beer, though I’m a huge fan of Simcoe, so...

Pours deep amber into a shaker. White head with excellent retention recedes leaving spotted sheets. Sweet grapefruit aromas. Soft with upfront caramel and marshmallow followed by a mild grapefruit finish.
