Oct 5, 2008 Amber with a small white head. The simcoe is certainly up front, with pine and citrus aroma. Dry and hoppy flavour with a fruity note. Very bitter with a lasting hop flavour.

Oct 5, 2008 Clear light amber with a nice creamy lasting off-white head. Strong herbal and citrusy hoppiness covers it all but is really fresh and clean. Seems to suck an hop cone. Definitely an ale for hopheads.

Oct 5, 2008 EBF2008. Tasted as Single Hop Simcoe IPA. The color is red amber and the head is creamy. The aroma is nice and fruity with a lot of citrus, both grapefruit and tangerine, but also hints of cantaloupe melon and a nice, smooth caramel. The flavour Has the same notes of citrus, a little pine and exotic fruit and a nicely balanced caramel. It’s truly nice.

Rune (1804), Tromsø, Norway
Oct 2, 2008 Sampled from tap as Single Hop Simcoe IPA at EBF 08. Bright amber body with a beige patch. Plain and strong aroma of hops. Ditto robustly, hoppy taste with pine and grapefruits. Bittersweet finish is tingling to the throat. A bit over the hoppy top, but, nonetheless, pleasant to drink (13.09.2008).
