Simcoe (US) Hop Pellets

Versatile and flavorful, Simcoe® shines with smooth bitterness and aromas of pine and citrus.

Breeding/Development: Simcoe® is a classic multi-purpose hop bred by Yakima Chief Ranches and released in 2000. Featuring high alpha content of 10-16%, brewers appreciate Simcoe for its smooth bitterness and unique flavor profile. It is often compared to Cascade, but with stronger and more intense aromas. 

Brewing Application: A spectacular dual-purpose hop, Simcoe®’s high alpha content makes it ideal for bittering additions. Meanwhile, its one-of-a-kind aroma profile plays well in Pale Ales, IPAs, and Double IPAs. 

Sensory: Look for a pine-like aroma with overtones of lime, grapefruit, tropical fruit, stone fruit, and slight earthiness.
