Commercial Description:
Simcoe is a unique American hybrid. Although it is primarily a bittering hop (12-14% alpha acids), its pine like aroma is highly sought after to make distinctive pale ales. Also described as citrusy and refined. Simcoe's flavor is believed superior due to low cohumulone levels.

Simcoe IPA is brewed with 100% Simcoe hops.

Known years: 2004, 2006

on tap at Sly Fox Phoenixville 12-8. Fresh for the IPA night. Can they please bottle this, its superb piney and citrus taste is really beautiful to the palate. It is refined and distinctive without being weak. If you love hoppy IPA’s, it doesn’t get any better than this beer!

Draught at the brewery: Smelled piney, hoppy, bitter, and a little citrusy. Apearance was dark amber color. Clear. Nice off white head which dissipated. Good lacing. Flavor was bitter piney hops. Strong, fresh, crisp flavor. Very tasty. A bit like the Cascade, but more pine. Very easy to drink. Could hardly stop myself. Overall, my favorite Anniversary IPA yet.

Fat herbs, dark pine, carmel, mint, and anise in the nose. Thick oily whit head that stuck around for the whole glass on top of a deep amber body. Herthy, piney, herbal hops are think on the tounge with jsut enough biscuty malt to back it up. Herbs are a big player as it warms with touches of rosmary and more biscut/carmel malts. Bitterness sticks around for a long time, and works into a grassy biscut finish. Thanks to Egajdzis for this exellant IPA.

Fruity, hoppy aroma. Amber in color with a white head that dissipates a bit too quickly. Hoppy, citrusy flavor with a slightly bitter aftertaste. The only IPA of theirs I’ve had, but I’ll definitely try more!

Excellent IPA. Copper-orange, wispy, oily head. Nose malty, a bit soapy, big citric hops. Huge hops in the flavor, loads of pine and perfume, nice tartness, also full and creamy. Great IPA.
