Bottle, Hoppy Loft. Well, well, my second Simcoe lager. Dominating in that category, I am. Poured a hazy yellow-golden body with a medium sized white head. Kinda sweaty agrumey grainy nose. Light herbal aromatic grainy taste. Surprisingly pleasant. Like a lighter Rulles Estivale (thanks to the bartender for giving me a chance to reevaluate that one!). The world needs more lagers like this.

Small off-white head; well-carbonated, hazy ochre-yellow beer and faint mossy sheen. Despite the naming, especially dry pale malts spreading upon opening. Bit rainwater, grassy. Little hops, in fact. Grassy, herbal, dry, but definitely more hoppy flavourwise - if rather oxydated ones. Rather watery MF, again rainwater-like feel. Well-carbonated, little going on. Underhopped as a ’typical’ USA lager, underpowered as a Pilsner. But - quite refresing, easily drinkable.

Bottle from Malting Pot, Brussels
Hazy blond color, small head. Light aroma of malts and hops, but somehow anonymous. Light body strength, some malt flavor and some aromatic hop. Correct bitterness. It maybe has just a bit too much yeast, otherwise it could be a good idea, a clean and light Simcoe Lager.

Bottled. A hazy amber beer with a huge yellowish head. The aroma has notes of straw, malt, and lemons. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt and straw, leading ot a dry and bitter finish. Thanks fiulijn for sharing.

Bottle 75 cl. Courtesy of fiulijn. Pours a hazy yellow with a frothy white head leaving quite some lacework. Fresh, perfumy hop aroma. Medium body, a sweet maltiness and then again these lovely aromatic and perfumy Simcoe hops. Not really bitter though. Appears stronger than 3.5%. Very quaffable. 160912
