Simcoe™
Simcoe hops have recently become somewhat of a darling in both craft and home brewing. As a true dual purpose hop, Simcoe offers a well rounded addition to just about any recipe. Smooth bitterness meets with aromas of earth, citrus, and cannabis. Try Simcoe hops in IPAs, Wheats, Saisons, and Amber Ales.
